Value Collection R82222322 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222322 is a 3/8-24 hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It measures 1-3/4 inches under the head and carries a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standard. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides solid corrosion resistance and is appropriate for environments where mild chemical exposure or moisture is present. This fastener meets the MS 35308-365D military standard, making it a reliable choice for demanding mechanical assemblies. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies will find this screw a dependable hardware component.

This hex head cap screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a fine-thread stainless fastener is specified. Typical use cases include securing equipment panels, mounting brackets, and hardware assemblies that require corrosion-resistant fasteners. The fine 3/8-24 thread pitch offers increased thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread equivalents, which is advantageous in applications requiring precise clamping force or resistance to vibration loosening.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. De-energize and shut down any equipment before fastener replacement or panel removal. Apply anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into aluminum or dissimilar metal threads to prevent galling. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant code for the assembly being serviced.
