Value Collection R82222342 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222342 is a 3/8-24 hex head cap screw machined to a 2-inch length under head in 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It uses a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form, which delivers tighter thread engagement and greater resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread fasteners. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposure, and outdoor service environments. This fastener meets MS 35307-365D standards and is suitable for mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment mounting tasks performed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC service professionals.

This cap screw is appropriate for general-purpose inch-series fastening applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common installations include equipment frames, junction box mounting, pipe support hardware, HVAC component brackets, and pump assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The fine thread pitch is especially well-suited for applications requiring precise torque control or installation into tapped holes in harder materials. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF thread form for fine-pitch engagement and vibration resistance
• 2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency at the thread
• Meets MS 35307-365D military standard for dimensional and material conformance
• Inch-series sizing integrates directly with standard SAE tooling and tapped components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF hex head cap screw compatible with any application specifying a 3/8-24 thread and a 2-inch grip length in 18-8 stainless steel per MS 35307-365D.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 3/8-24 UNF thread specification before installation. De-energize or shut down any equipment being serviced before accessing fastener locations on live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Apply anti-seize compound if installing into dissimilar metals to prevent galling of the stainless threads.
