Value Collection R64406324 Socket Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R64406324 is a socket head cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a compact, high-strength hex-drive connection. Sized at 3/8-16 thread with a 1-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated with a bright finish. The 18-8 alloy provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. The 5/16-inch internal hex socket accepts a standard Allen or hex key drive, allowing installation in confined spaces where a wrench cannot swing. Maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general mechanical contractors commonly use this style of fastener when assembling equipment panels, brackets, and structural connections.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial applications. Typical installations include HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, pump and motor mounts, and plumbing fixture brackets. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes it a practical choice in environments where mild corrosive exposure is present, such as mechanical rooms, rooftop units, pool equipment enclosures, and marine-adjacent installations. The unified coarse 3/8-16 thread pitch is one of the most common sizes in trade fastener kits, allowing straightforward replacement sourcing.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening without bottoming out
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Bright uncoated finish for easy visual inspection and no coating interference with thread fit
• 5/16-inch internal hex drive allows torquing in tight or recessed access points

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 x 1-inch socket head cap screw suitable for any application requiring this thread size, drive type, and material grade in accordance with ASME and ANSI fastener standards.

Installation Notes

Install with a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use a torque wrench for critical structural connections. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid mixing stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or galvanic environments without appropriate isolation hardware. Thread engagement of at least 1.5 times the screw diameter is recommended practice for steel or aluminum tapped holes.
