3/8-24 x 7/8 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert supports compact internal-hex fastening where a backed-out screw would create a service problem. Nylon contact at the thread adds frictional resistance while preserving the standard internal hex drive arrangement.
Use it for conveyor side rails, machine covers, or adjustable production fixtures after confirming thread engagement, drive access, and the mating material. 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 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.
