Value Collection 3710MPF 3/8-16 X 5/8 in Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3710MPF is a 3/8-16 x 5/8 inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose mechanical assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully driven, which is critical in applications where protrusion is not acceptable. This screw is intended for use by maintenance technicians, millwrights, HVAC installers, electricians, and other trade professionals who need a standardized inch-series fastener for equipment assembly or repair.

This fastener is suited for a wide range of residential and light commercial applications where a 3/8-16 unified coarse thread is specified. The 5/8 inch overall length is measured end-to-end. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bit drivers, making it practical for both hand and power tool installation. It is appropriate for use in panel mounting, equipment enclosures, mechanical brackets, and general structural assembly where a flush-seating fastener is required.

Key Features

• Thread size 3/8-16 unified coarse (UNC) for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• Flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface upon installation
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips No. 2 bit or screwdriver
• Steel construction with zinc plating for corrosion resistance in general indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Overall length 5/8 inches measured from head top to tip

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC machine screw suitable for any application specifying a 3/8-16 x 5/8 inch flat head Phillips fastener conforming to ASME B18.6.3 or SAE J82.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver or compatible bit driver. Ensure the receiving material has a properly tapped or pre-threaded 3/8-16 hole before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten, as doing so can strip threads or crack the mating material. A countersunk hole is required to seat the flat head flush with the surface.
