Value Collection R82222304 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222304 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw machined to a 2-inch length under head in 18-8 stainless steel with no coating applied. The 3/8-16 designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The 18-8 stainless steel alloy delivers solid corrosion resistance, making this fastener well suited for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors reach for this grade when a standard carbon steel fastener would corrode prematurely in the installation environment.

This fastener is appropriate for a wide range of trade and light industrial assembly applications including equipment mounting, panel attachment, pipe support hardware, and structural bracketing where moderate corrosion resistance is required. The UNC thread form is the standard coarse-pitch thread used throughout North American mechanical and trade work, ensuring broad tooling and hardware compatibility. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per transaction.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form — standard coarse pitch for broad compatibility with North American hardware
• 2-inch length under head for sufficient grip in medium-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or react with stainless mating hardware
• Meets MS 35307-366D military standard specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 x 2-inch stainless steel fastener. Meets MS 35307-366D specification for applicable military and industrial equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. When threading into tapped holes in stainless or aluminum, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling, which is common with stainless fasteners. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not mix stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly corrosive environments without evaluating galvanic compatibility.
