Value Collection VS1102PR Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16x3/4 Silicon Bronze

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VS1102PR is a hex head cap screw engineered for corrosion resistance in demanding fastening applications. Manufactured from silicon bronze alloy grade C651, this fastener features a 3/8-16 UNC thread form and measures 3/4 inches under the head. It is fully threaded along its entire length, providing maximum thread engagement. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion-resistant properties of the silicon bronze material. Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, this screw is suited for plumbing, marine, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies where ferrous fasteners would be vulnerable to corrosion.

Silicon bronze hex cap screws are commonly specified in residential and commercial applications where moisture exposure, galvanic compatibility, or chemical resistance is a concern. Typical installation scenarios include copper piping systems, marine hardware, pool and spa equipment mounting, and electrical enclosure assembly. The 9/16-inch hex drive accommodates standard combination and box-end wrenches or sockets found in any trade toolkit.

Key Features

• Silicon bronze alloy grade C651 construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Fully threaded 3/8-16 UNC configuration maximizes thread engagement
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards
• Bright, uncoated finish preserves natural material properties
• 9/16-inch hex drive fits standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system; length measured under the head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series fully threaded fastener in silicon bronze alloy.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 9/16-inch box-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket driver. Silicon bronze fasteners should be paired with compatible non-ferrous or bronze nuts and hardware to avoid unfavorable galvanic coupling. Always verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the applicable design or code before final tightening. Do not use impact drivers at high torque settings, as silicon bronze is softer than steel and susceptible to thread stripping.
