Value Collection R82222943 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222943 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread size with a length under the head of 1.25 inches, fabricated from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The fine thread pitch of the 3/8-24 UNF standard provides strong thread engagement and resistance to loosening under vibration. This fastener is suited for use in environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, making it a practical choice for plumbing, HVAC, pool equipment, and marine-adjacent mechanical assemblies. Installation is typically performed by licensed trade professionals or experienced maintenance technicians.

This hex head cap screw is well suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. Common applications include securing brackets, flanges, and equipment panels in HVAC systems, plumbing infrastructure, and pool equipment enclosures. The fully threaded shank allows for maximum thread engagement across the full length of the fastener, which is particularly useful in thinner material applications or when using a threaded insert.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for strong engagement and vibration resistance
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 1.25-inch length
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances without added coating thickness
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets for reliable torque application

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF fastener for use in any application requiring a 3/8-24 fully threaded hex head cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with an appropriate hex wrench or socket to ensure proper seating without cam-out or fastener damage. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener points on electrical or HVAC assemblies. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and thread engagement requirements. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
