Value Collection R82222323 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222323 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw machined from 18-8 stainless steel with no finish coating applied. The fastener measures 1-1/4 inches under the head and is threaded to Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards. Its 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically active environments without the need for a plating or coating. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians use this fastener in assemblies where bare stainless is required to meet specifications or pass inspection. The screw meets multiple military standard designations, making it suitable for applications that call out MS-series fastener compliance.

This fastener sees use across HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, and pool and pump equipment where corrosion resistance is a requirement. The 3/8-16 thread size is common in structural and mechanical assemblies throughout commercial and residential construction. Technicians working on stainless-wetted systems or coastal installations frequently specify 18-8 stainless fasteners to prevent galvanic and crevice corrosion at connection points. The uncoated finish ensures dimensional consistency for close-tolerance threaded holes.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form matches the most common coarse-thread tapping standard in inch-system assemblies
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth through-bolt and tapped-hole applications
• Uncoated finish maintains precise thread tolerances with no added plating thickness
• Meets multiple MS military standard designations including MS 34307-341D and MS 35307 series

Suitable as a direct replacement in any assembly specifying a 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 inch 18-8 stainless hex head cap screw to UNC standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the applicable licensed trade or maintenance technician using a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 3/8-16 fastener. De-energize and lock out electrical panels and shut off fluid supply lines before replacing fasteners in live equipment. Apply anti-seize compound when threading stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Torque to the value specified in the equipment manufacturer service documentation.
