Value Collection -34697-2 Flange Bolt 3/8-16 Unc 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34697-2 is an alloy steel flange bolt with a 3/8-16 UNC thread profile and a 2-inch length under head. It features a 12-point drive and a plain (uncoated) finish. Built to ASME B18.3 standards, this bolt is designed for applications where a flange-head fastener provides load distribution without a separate washer. Sold in packs of 10, it suits professional tradespeople who need reliable, spec-compliant fasteners for structural, mechanical, or equipment assembly work.

This flange bolt is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and structural connections where a 3/8-16 UNC thread is specified. The 12-point drive allows for high-torque installation in tight spaces using a box-end wrench or socket. The alloy steel construction provides strength appropriate for industrial and commercial service environments. Installers working on HVAC equipment frames, pump bases, fan assemblies, or similar trade applications will find this bolt a direct fit where a 3/8-16 UNC flange-head fastener is called out.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 2-inch length under head for moderate-depth fastening applications
• 12-point drive head accepts box-end wrenches and 12-point sockets for high-torque installation
• Alloy steel construction for enhanced strength over standard carbon steel
• Plain finish — no coating to interfere with thread fit or galvanic considerations
• Meets ASME B18.3 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC flange bolt for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.3 inch-series flange-head fastener with a 12-point drive and 2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with fastener torque requirements for the specific application and base material. Verify thread engagement depth meets design requirements before final torque. Use a calibrated torque wrench appropriate for 3/8-inch fasteners; consult the equipment manufacturer's specifications for target torque values. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not reuse fasteners that show signs of galling or deformation.
