Value Collection R63062643 Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63062643 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head and a secure hex socket drive. Threaded 3/8-16 UNC with a 2-inch length under the head, this fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 7/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. The 0.199-inch button head height keeps the fastener profile minimal where clearance is limited. Machinists, millwrights, equipment fabricators, and mechanical contractors install this type of fastener in structural and machine assemblies where corrosion resistance and a clean head profile are required.

This button socket cap screw is suited for general industrial and mechanical fastening in both indoor and outdoor environments where stainless steel corrosion resistance is necessary. Typical applications include panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, machine guards, and light structural connections. The 3/8-16 UNC thread form is one of the most widely used coarse-thread standards in North American trade work, making this fastener compatible with a broad range of tapped holes and standard nuts conforming to UNC specifications. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Button head profile reduces protrusion where clearance is limited
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread with Class 3A fit for precise thread engagement
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for Allen key or hex bit installation
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances and visual inspection ease
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC button socket cap screw with a 2-inch grip length, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or hex socket bit rated for the torque requirements of the application. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners in live mechanical assemblies. For stainless steel fasteners, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads prior to installation to prevent galling, which is common with 18-8 stainless hardware. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific joint.
