Value Collection R82222319 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222319 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw with a 1-1/8-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The 3/8-16 thread designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) pitch. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance, making this fastener suitable for applications where moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure are concerns. This screw meets the MS 35307-361D military standard and is installed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and electricians working on equipment assemblies, panels, and mechanical connections that require a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded fastener.

This hex head cap screw is used in a broad range of light industrial, commercial, and residential mechanical applications. It is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing bracket and strut work, electrical enclosure assembly, and general equipment maintenance where UNC threading is specified. The hex head drive allows installation with standard open-end, box-end, or socket wrenches. The uncoated 18-8 stainless finish is well suited to damp or corrosive environments where zinc-plated carbon steel fasteners are not appropriate.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts
• 1-1/8-inch length under head provides adequate grip for typical panel and bracket thicknesses
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in damp and mildly corrosive environments
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating thickness variables from threaded fit calculations
• Meets MS 35307-361D military standard for dimensional and material compliance
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets without specialty tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application calling for an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length under head per MS 35307-361D specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Confirm the mating tapped hole or nut is also 3/8-16 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling under high torque; use appropriate anti-seize compound when joining stainless to stainless components. De-energize and lock out all equipment per applicable safety procedures before fastener work on electrical or mechanical assemblies.
