Value Collection R57001053 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001053 is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a recessed drive fastener with a clean, low-profile head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread standard. Drive size is 5/16 inches hex (Allen key). Length under head measures 1-1/8 inches. Installers across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical disciplines use socket cap screws where a wrench cannot access a standard hex head.

This screw suits general-purpose mechanical assembly, panel mounting, equipment brackets, and structural fastening tasks in both residential and light commercial settings. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts of the same thread designation. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor or protected outdoor environments where moderate corrosion resistance is sufficient.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without surface coatings
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 1-1/8-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy at the drive and thread surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 coarse-thread fastener with a 5/16-inch hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-drive bit. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not exceed the torque capacity of 18-8 stainless steel, as the alloy is susceptible to galling under excessive torque without lubrication. Apply an anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to prevent thread galling.
