Value Collection R63092489 Hex Head Cap Screw Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092489 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw machined from brass, measuring 2.5 inches under the head with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance and conductivity characteristics suited to plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies where ferrous fasteners are not appropriate. The 9/16-inch hex drive head accepts a standard hex wrench or socket. This fastener is used by plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors in applications that require a non-ferrous, non-sparking threaded fastener.

This cap screw is suited for residential and light commercial installations where UNC-threaded brass fasteners are specified. Typical applications include pipe flange assemblies, electrical panel work, pool and spa equipment mounting, pump housings, and valve body repairs. The 3/8-16 thread size is a widely used coarse-thread standard, making this fastener compatible with a broad range of tapped holes and brass hex nuts in trade applications.

Key Features

• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form fits the most common coarse-thread tapped holes in that diameter
• 2.5-inch length under head accommodates thicker flanges and stacked components
• 9/16-inch hex head accepts standard socket and wrench tooling
• Non-ferrous material suitable for use near dissimilar metals where galvanic isolation is a concern

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 brass fastener with a 2.5-inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Brass fasteners have lower tensile strength than steel equivalents — do not exceed manufacturer torque specifications for the mating component. Apply thread sealant or anti-seize compound as required by the application and applicable codes. Always de-energize electrical systems and shut off fluid supply before servicing assemblies that include this fastener.
