Value Collection R82403395 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82403395 is a hex head cap screw designed for industrial and trade fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Machined from Grade 316 stainless steel, it delivers strong resistance to chloride-rich and chemical environments. The fastener measures 3/8-16 thread size by 5 inches in length under head and features a partially threaded shank with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. The uncoated finish is suitable where contact with dissimilar metals or coatings would be undesirable. Plumbers, pipefitters, marine installers, and maintenance mechanics routinely specify 316 stainless hardware for wet or corrosive service locations.

This screw is a standard inch-measurement fastener used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC structural mounting, marine hardware, food-processing equipment, and chemical-handling assemblies. Anywhere a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded bolt is required in a corrosive or wet environment, this Grade 316 stainless option is a direct fit. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-measure hardware
• Partially threaded shank allows clamping force across joined materials
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating incompatibility concerns in sensitive assemblies
• 5-inch length under head suits deep-stack or thick-flange fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring inch-series partially threaded fasteners in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics, plumbers, or pipefitters using a standard hex wrench or socket drive sized for a 3/8-16 fastener. Shut down and de-energize or depressurize any system before fastener replacement or installation. Apply anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel to prevent galling during assembly, as 316 stainless fasteners are prone to thread galling if driven dry or at excessive speed. Follow applicable mechanical codes for fastener torque class and joint type.
