Value Collection R48622848 Low Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622848 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a reduced head profile is required without sacrificing secure fastening. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and service environments. The screw features a 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 3/4-inch length measured under the head, and is driven by a 3/16-inch hex socket key. This fastener is appropriate for installation by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades who need a low-profile cap screw in a corrosion-resistant material.

This low socket cap screw is suited for use in equipment assemblies, panel mounting, and mechanical enclosures where standard socket cap head clearance is limited. The low-profile head allows flush or near-flush installation in countersunk or recessed applications. The UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes commonly found in residential and light commercial equipment.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile for use in clearance-restricted installations
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tools
• Length of 3/4 inches measured under the head for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series low socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a reduced-height socket cap head in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen wrench; ensure threads in the mating component are clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement or service work. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when installing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to reduce the risk of thread seizure.
