Value Collection R84232019 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R84232019 is a hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 2-1/4 inch length measured under the head and is partially threaded along the shank. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with structural assemblies, equipment mounting, or piping support hardware commonly reach for this grade of hardware.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial installations where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support bracketing, pool equipment enclosures, and general mechanical assembly. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is a common size across a wide range of flanges, brackets, and structural steel connections. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads, making it appropriate for joints where precise alignment or load-bearing is required.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for broad hardware compatibility
• 2-1/4 inch length under head for deeper engagement in thicker assemblies
• Partially threaded shank for improved shear load performance
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance without additional coating
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for visible or sanitary-environment fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw with 3/8-16 UNC threading, compatible with any tapped hole, hex nut, or coupling nut meeting ASME B1.1 UNC thread specifications at the 3/8-16 pitch.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, or general maintenance mechanics using a standard hex wrench or socket set. Always power down and de-energize equipment before fastening hardware to electrical enclosures or mechanical systems. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in high-conductivity or saltwater environments without appropriate isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
