Value Collection 3710MPP Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3710MPP is a 3/8-16 pan head Phillips machine screw built for general-purpose mechanical fastening in metalworking, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, and light structural applications. It is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. The thread size is 3/8-16 UNC with a length under head of 5/8 inches. The pan head profile offers a low-profile, broad bearing surface suited for flush or near-flush installations. This fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. It is typically installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC mechanics, and millwrights working on equipment panels, junction boxes, and bracket assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard inch-system threaded fastener is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with common hand and power tools available in most trade environments. The zinc finish makes it appropriate for dry or low-humidity indoor use. Typical installation scenarios include securing control panels, motor mounts, equipment housings, and structural brackets where 3/8-16 thread engagement is specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• Pan head with Phillips drive for use with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for indoor corrosion resistance
• 5/8 inch length under head for shallow to moderate material thickness
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• No washer — installs directly against the mating surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system machine screw for use in any tapped or clearance hole accepting 3/8-16 UNC thread in steel, aluminum, or similar structural materials.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tooling beyond a standard Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the mating hole is clean, properly tapped to 3/8-16 UNC, and free of debris before installation. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening or removing hardware on live panels or enclosures. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and NEC or equipment-specific codes where fastener retention is safety-critical.
