Value Collection R63062028 Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63062028 is a button socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where a low-profile head and internal hex socket drive are required. The 3/8-16 thread size follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards, and the 1-inch length under head suits a wide range of clamping depths. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. The 7/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. At 0.032 pounds per piece, it is a lightweight but structurally sound fastener for both structural and finish applications.

Button socket cap screws of this type are used across mechanical assembly, equipment fabrication, enclosure mounting, and light structural work. The low-profile button head is preferred when clearance above the joint surface is limited or when a cleaner finished appearance is needed. This fastener is appropriate for machine frames, brackets, guards, covers, and general industrial assemblies where stainless steel corrosion resistance is a specification requirement. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and fabricators across commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 1-inch length under head provides versatile clamping range
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in harsh environments
• Low-profile button head reduces protrusion above mating surface
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC button socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a UNC-threaded fastener with a low-profile button head and hex socket drive in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Avoid overtightening, as the button head has a lower drive torque capacity than standard socket head cap screws of the same diameter. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to prevent thread seizure.
