Value Collection R57001061 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001061 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications that require corrosion resistance and a clean, low-profile head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener features a 3/8-24 UNF thread size and measures 5/8 inches in length under the head. The 5/16-inch hex drive allows installation with a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. This fastener is appropriate for use by machinists, millwrights, plumbers, and general mechanical trades working on assemblies that demand fine-thread engagement and stainless construction.

This screw suits residential and light commercial applications where fine-thread fastening is needed in environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The 3/8-24 UNF thread pitch provides tighter thread engagement compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it well suited for thin-walled materials or applications requiring precise torque control. Typical install scenarios include equipment panels, mechanical assemblies, plumbing fixture mounting, and pump or motor housing work.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine-thread profile for precise, high-strength thread engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 5/8-inch length under head suits standard mechanical and plumbing assembly depths
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen wrenches and hex bit drivers
• Bright, uncoated finish for clean appearance and dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 3/8-24 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and plumbing or HVAC component mounting requiring fine-thread stainless fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or qualified mechanical trades using a calibrated Allen wrench or hex bit driver sized to 5/16 inch. Verify thread engagement depth before tightening to avoid stripping fine threads. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement on live assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical and fastener torque standards for 3/8-24 UNF stainless hardware as specified by the equipment manufacturer.
