Value Collection R56000900 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000900 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require reliable clamping force and resistance to corrosion. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC with a 3-inch length under the head, this screw is partially threaded, allowing for precise clamping without thread engagement across the full shank. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments. The internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation in confined spaces where a wrench cannot reach.

This screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, structural bracketing, and equipment fabrication in industrial, commercial, and trade applications. Partial threading makes it well matched for through-bolting applications where shank clearance and controlled clamping are priorities. It is commonly installed by millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC fabricators, and general mechanical contractors working with stainless fastener specifications.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts
• 3-inch length under head for through-bolting and deep-reach fastening
• Partially threaded shank provides a clamping zone free of thread engagement
• Internal hex socket drive allows installation in tight or recessed access points

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded fastener in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen driver matched to the socket head. Ensure the tapped hole or nut meets the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before driving. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless fasteners into stainless threaded holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque requirements based on joint design.
