Value Collection R57001150 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001150 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications where corrosion resistance is required. Sized at 3/8-24 UNF with a 3-inch length under the head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated. The fine thread pattern of the 3/8-24 UNF designation provides strong clamping force and vibration resistance. At 0.15 pounds per piece, it is a lightweight yet durable fastener suitable for a wide range of trade and industrial assembly tasks. Installed with standard hex wrenches or sockets, it is a common choice for licensed tradespeople across mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC applications.

This hex head cap screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Fully threaded construction makes it well-suited for use with nuts, threaded inserts, or tapped holes through the full length of the fastener. Typical installations include equipment mounting, bracket assembly, and mechanical connections in environments subject to moisture or chemical exposure. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is widely used in plumbing, HVAC equipment panels, and pool and spa equipment enclosures where mild to moderate corrosive conditions are present.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for strong clamping and vibration resistance
• Fully threaded along the entire 3-inch length under the head
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating interference in tapped holes
• Standard hex head accepts common wrenches and sockets for fast installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF fully threaded hex head cap screw compatible with any application requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical tradespeople, HVAC technicians, plumbers, or electricians depending on the application. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components to live panels or assemblies. Use calibrated torque tools where joint specifications are defined by the equipment manufacturer. Verify thread engagement depth and ensure the mating hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener.
