Value Collection R82222341 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222341 is a 3/8-16 x 1 inch hex head cap screw machined from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. 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. Length under head measures 1 inch. The 18-8 stainless alloy provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and outdoor environments, making this fastener a standard choice for HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and pool equipment where carbon steel hardware would corrode over time.

This cap screw is used in light to medium fastening applications across residential and commercial trade work. Typical install scenarios include securing access panels on air handlers and condensing units, attaching brackets in electrical panel enclosures, fastening plumbing hardware near moisture-prone areas, and assembling pool and spa equipment components. The hex head drive accepts standard 9/16 inch wrenches and sockets, keeping it compatible with common field tool sets.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool service professionals using standard hand or power tools. Always de-energize equipment and relieve system pressure before replacing fasteners on active systems. Apply anti-seize compound when threading stainless fasteners into aluminum or dissimilar-metal tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications and applicable codes including NEC, IPC, or IFGC as appropriate to the system being serviced.
