Value Collection R56000168 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The Value Collection R56000168 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemically aggressive environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern and 2-1/4 inch length under head make it a standard choice for through-bolting or stud assembly work. The uncoated finish maintains the natural properties of 316 stainless without added plating. Installed using a standard hex wrench or socket, this screw is used by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades across a wide range of service conditions.

This fastener is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a primary requirement. Common install scenarios include outdoor equipment mounting, pool and spa mechanical assemblies, marine hardware, and any environment subject to moisture, chlorine, or mild chemical exposure. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full length of the fastener, which is valuable when securing thinner material stacks or when a nut and washer assembly is used on the opposite side.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the entire 2-1/4 inch length
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard nuts, inserts, and tapped holes
• Uncoated finish preserves the inherent properties of 316 stainless steel
• Hex head drive style compatible with standard hex wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system with length measured under head

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel. Compatible with standard 3/8-16 nuts, washers, and threaded inserts in inch-series fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 3/8 inch hex head cap screw. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before accessing fastener locations on mechanical assemblies. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
