Value Collection R80323440 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 8 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80323440 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with no additional coating, this fastener delivers reliable performance in environments where moisture, chemicals, or temperature fluctuations are a concern. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern paired with an 8-inch length under head makes it suitable for through-bolting thicker assemblies, flanges, brackets, and structural connections across a wide range of trade applications. Installation is handled by mechanical contractors, millwrights, plumbers, and general trades using standard hex-drive tooling.

This hex head cap screw is suited for industrial, commercial, and residential trade applications where a longer grip length is needed and full threading is not required. The partial threading design provides a shoulder area that resists shear loads along the bolt shank, making it appropriate for clevis pins, hinges, linkage assemblies, and structural bolted joints. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 8-inch length under head accommodates thick stack-ups and through-bolt applications
• Partially threaded shank provides shear resistance and a smooth bearing surface
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and avoids plating buildup on threads

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-series hex nuts, flat washers, and tapped holes per Unified National Coarse thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid rounding the head. Always verify that the mating nut or tapped hole matches the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before assembly. When used in structural or pressure-bearing connections, follow applicable code requirements for fastener torque and joint design. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is a common field practice to prevent thread damage.
