5/16-18 x 3/8 18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Head Cap Screw is an externally driven fastener for wrench or socket installation from the side of the head. 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 outdoor hardware, equipment covers, and access panels. 18-8 stainless may pick up slight magnetism from cold working, which is normal for this austenitic stainless material.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material used for ordinary atmosphere, moisture exposure, washdown, and clean appearance. When standard catalog searches are too broad, Cold Headers supports precise sourcing for stainless fasteners and related socket products.
