Value Collection R80324929 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 4 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80324929 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in 3/8-16 UNC thread, measuring 4 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with no coating applied, this fastener is built for corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or marine environments. Conforming to DIN 933, it meets an internationally recognized standard for hex cap screws. Mechanical and maintenance tradespeople specify Grade 316 over Grade 304 when chloride exposure or harsh washdown conditions are a factor. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement along the full 4-inch length.

This screw is appropriate for structural fastening, equipment mounting, and general assembly applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Typical use cases include HVAC equipment installation near coastal or industrial environments, plumbing equipment brackets, pool and spa mechanical enclosures, and marine or food-service installations. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is widely compatible with standard nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes found across trade equipment and structural hardware.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to chloride and chemical corrosion
• Fully threaded shank along the full 4-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 3/8-16 UNC thread conforms to standard Unified National Coarse specifications
• Uncoated finish — no plating or coating that can flake, chip, or interfere with torque values
• Meets DIN 933 standard for hex head cap screws

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes in Inch-system fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, pool, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or maintenance tradespeople using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 3/8-inch hex cap screw. De-energize and depressurize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware in live systems. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or submerged environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant code for the installation type.
