Measuring 3\/8-16 UNC thread with a 1\/2-inch length measured under the head, this fastener is driven by a 3\/16-inch hex key. It is constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Tradespeople and maintenance technicians use low socket cap screws when clearance is limited and a flush or near-flush fastener profile is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is appropriate for light mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, enclosures, and structural connections where the reduced head height of a low socket cap style is specified. The 3\/8-16 UNC thread is a common inch-series coarse thread found across HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, pump housings, and general fabrication work. Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in pool equipment environments, outdoor installations, and any application where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow socket cap head profile reduces clearance requirements compared to standard socket cap screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen-style bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch length under head suits shallow-engagement fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series low socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3\/8-16 UNC threaded fastener with a reduced-height hex socket head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a 3\/16-inch hex key or matching Allen-style driver bit. Verify that the tapped hole thread specification matches 3\/8-16 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the assembly being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (under head)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low Socket Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Key Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC (Inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R48622824\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698340528434,"sku":"R48622824","price":1455.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5d0912ed7ef4089790e6749cf71e5fae_9e7ce6ea-2e82-4292-858d-063c28e29cb0.jpg?v=1788361395","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r48622824-low-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
