Threaded to 3\/8-16 UNC specification, this screw features a 5\/16-inch hex drive that accepts a standard Allen or hex key. The body is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing corrosion resistance suited to both indoor and outdoor environments. At 3\/8 inches in length under the head, this fastener is sized for compact joint assemblies where space is limited. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and fabricators reach for this screw when a recessed-drive, high-strength fastener is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket cap screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and fabrication work where a flush or recessed fastener head is preferred. The 3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread pattern provides reliable engagement in standard tapped holes found in steel, aluminum, and plastic components. Its compact 3\/8-inch under-head length makes it appropriate for thin-stock assemblies or close-clearance applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction holds up in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments, making it a common choice in HVAC panel assembly, plumbing equipment mounting, and poolside fixture work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread for standard tapped-hole compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive accepts common Allen keys and hex bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in tight-tolerance fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch length under head for compact or thin-stack joint assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 31161501 — classified as a socket cap screw fastener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stocking fastener for any application requiring a 3\/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 3\/8-inch under-head length in 18-8 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 5\/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use of a torque wrench is recommended for structural or pressure-bearing joints per applicable mechanical codes. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live assemblies.\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 Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\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: R57001052\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722677813554,"sku":"R57001052","price":553.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0c9a2a0009891924a2ca223b5da382b3_4efa4e47-7d04-43b2-9e7a-eb29eb4b2635.jpg?v=1788594408","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r57001052-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
