3/8-16 x 1 1/4 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is built for drawings that call for both stainless material and prevailing-torque thread locking. Its locking element supports service where a standard all-metal cap screw may need an added thread-locking feature.
Use it for material-handling systems, equipment guards, or panel-mounted hardware after confirming thread engagement, drive access, and the mating material. Because 18-8 is not heat-treated for maximum clamp load, compare the 1960 Series Alloy Steel SHCS with Nylon Insert when joint strength is the governing requirement.
Use the exact thread, length, pellet diameter, and pellet location when matching drawings or service records. Cold Headers can help confirm the exact-size 1960 Series stainless nylon-insert part before quoting availability. The 1960 Series name identifies the modern ASME B18.3 head-proportion standard for socket head cap screws, successor to the older 1936 series, not a year of manufacture.
