Value Collection R63003884 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63003884 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength. Threaded to a 3/8-16 UNC specification, it features a 5/16 inch hex drive and a 3/4 inch length under head. The fastener is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, a grade known for its resistance to chlorides and chemical exposure, making it a dependable choice in wet, marine, or industrial environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals install this type of fastener across a wide range of mechanical assemblies.

This screw is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where a standard hex socket drive is needed and corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include pipe supports, equipment frames, pump assemblies, and HVAC bracket work where stainless fasteners are specified. The 3/8-16 UNC thread form is a coarse-thread standard, offering good thread engagement in both metal and tapped holes across common structural materials.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex key or Allen wrench tooling
• 3/4 inch length under head suits shallow to moderate clamping applications
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in tight or recessed spaces

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen-style driver. Verify that the mating tapped hole or nut is also rated for 3/8-16 UNC threading before installation. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless threaded holes, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
