Value Collection R63064843 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63064843 is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush-mount fastening in structural and mechanical assemblies. Machined to a 3/8-16 UNC thread with an overall length of 1 inch, this screw features an 82-degree flat head profile that seats flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk correctly. The hex socket drive measures 7/32 inches and accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides solid corrosion resistance for indoor and moderate-exposure applications. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and commercial service work.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for applications where a low-profile or flush fastener head is required and clearance for a conventional hex head or pan head is not available. Common install scenarios include equipment panels, machine guards, fixture plates, pump housings, and structural brackets. The 3/8-16 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with tapped holes and nuts produced to standard inch tolerances. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with mild moisture exposure or where steel hardware would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile for flush or countersunk seating
• 7/32 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a standard Allen key
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped components
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• 1 inch overall length suits a wide range of panel and bracket thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw compatible with any tapped hole or nut meeting 3/8-16 UNC thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized countersink in the mating material to achieve a flush seating surface at the correct 82-degree included angle. Use a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate 7/32 inch hex key to drive the fastener to the torque value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable ASME fastener standards. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live machinery. Avoid mixing stainless fasteners with carbon steel components in applications subject to galvanic corrosion risk.
