Value Collection R80324911 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80324911 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for industrial and mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, it delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical environments where standard carbon steel or 304-grade hardware would degrade prematurely. The fastener measures 3/8-16 UNC thread x 3-1/2 inches under the head and arrives uncoated, with no plating or finish applied. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance mechanics, and equipment fabricators use this type of fastener where a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection is required in structural or equipment assemblies.

This screw is well-suited for plumbing, marine, food-processing, pool and spa equipment, and outdoor mechanical assemblies where exposure to moisture, chlorine, or mild chemicals is expected. The UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts of matching thread specification. Fully threaded construction allows engagement along the entire shank length, making it useful in applications requiring maximum thread engagement or through-bolted assemblies with varying grip lengths.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement along the entire fastener length
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 3-1/2 inches length under head accommodates deeper through-bolted or tapped assemblies
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added plating thickness
• Hex drive head accepts standard 9/16-inch wrenches and sockets for installation and removal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole or hex nut of matching thread specification in industrial, mechanical, or structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 9/16-inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. Verify thread engagement and hole alignment before tightening to avoid cross-threading in tapped assemblies. When installing in pool, marine, or chemical environments, inspect mating hardware for compatible material grade to prevent galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and assembly requirements specific to your application.
