3/8-16 x 1-1/2 Coarse Hex Cap - Grade 5 Box/100

Overview

The 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 Coarse Hex Cap Screw (00296) is designed for general fastening applications requiring a wrench-driven hexagonal head fastener, supplied in a box of 100.

Technical Features

• Grade 5 Strength Rating: Meets the mechanical requirements of SAE Grade 5, providing a higher tensile strength than Grade 2 fasteners — suitable for medium-duty structural and mechanical assemblies.
• 3/8-16 Coarse Thread (UNC): Unified National Coarse thread form offers faster assembly and better resistance to cross-threading compared to fine-thread variants, particularly in softer base materials.
• Hexagonal Head Profile: External hex head is designed to be driven by a standard open-end, box-end, or socket wrench, allowing high torque application without specialized tooling.
• 1-1/2 in Grip Length: Provides sufficient thread engagement for a range of standard material thicknesses commonly encountered in construction and fabrication.
• Box of 100 Units: Bulk packaging at 3.91 lb per box supports job-site efficiency by reducing reorder frequency on high-volume fastening tasks.

Applications

• General structural assembly where wrench-driven fasteners are required.
• Wood, metal, and composite material fastening in construction and fabrication environments.
• Machine assembly and equipment maintenance requiring a medium-grade hex cap fastener.
• Replacement or stock fastener supply for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventories.
