Value Collection 290374 Button Head Torx Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 290374 is a 3/8-16 x 1 inch button head Torx machine screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The button head profile sits low against the mating surface, reducing snag points in assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener is preferred. The Torx drive resists cam-out better than Phillips or slotted drives, making it a reliable choice in production or field service work. Thread pitch follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards. Length is measured under the head. This package contains 50 screws per unit.

These screws are used across a wide range of mechanical assembly applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general sheet metal or structural component fastening. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. They are appropriate for use wherever a low-profile head and positive Torx drive engagement are required. Contractors and maintenance technicians working on equipment assemblies, access panels, or framing brackets will find these screws a standard-fit fastener for both new installation and repair work.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• Button head profile reduces protrusion and minimizes snag hazard in tight assemblies
• Torx drive design resists cam-out during installation and removal
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Pack of 50 screws per package for stocking and service truck use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC machine screw suitable for standard 3/8-16 tapped holes and threaded inserts across a broad range of mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Torx driver or bit of the appropriate size for 3/8-16 button head screws. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into or around electrical enclosures or live panels. Do not exceed the rated torque range for Grade 2 steel fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable standards. Inspect threads on both the screw and mating component for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
