For drawings calling out 3/8-16 x 2 1/2, this 18-8 stainless hex head fastener supports assemblies where top-drive clearance is not required. In this size range it is treated as a hex head cap screw, with the hex head driven by external tooling rather than an internal socket.
Common application reviews include conveyors, material-handling equipment, and frame connections. When the design calls for a recessed counterbored fastener or tighter tool clearance, compare 18-8 Socket Head Cap Screws.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material used for ordinary atmosphere, moisture exposure, washdown, and clean appearance. Cold Headers' catalog work is strongest where the requested size, material, and application details need a careful match.
