3/8-24 x 1 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert combines the familiar socket head profile with a nylon insert for added loosening resistance. The insert is positioned in the threaded body so the screw can develop prevailing torque during engagement.
Typical applications include processing equipment, maintenance repair, and replacement fastener work, where the exact thread and length help match drawings, service records, and replacement needs. 18-8 stainless is a practical choice for ordinary moisture exposure, washdown-adjacent machinery, and equipment where a clean stainless finish is specified.
For countersunk installations, 18-8 Flat Head Socket Cap Screws with Nylon Insert keep the locking feature in a different head style. Cold Headers installs nylon inserts in-house for supported socket-cap configurations, with odd-size sourcing handled through the quote process.
