Value Collection 3712MSL 3/8-16 X 3/4 in Fillister Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3712MSL is a fillister head machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features a 3/8-16 unified coarse thread and a 3/4-inch length under head, with a slotted drive that accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The body is steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Grade J82 per ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The fillister head profile provides a taller, narrower head than a standard pan head, offering a deeper slot engagement and a smaller footprint on the mating surface. This fastener is sold as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This screw is suited for light to medium mechanical assemblies where a slotted fillister head is specified by the design or where clearance around the fastener head is limited. Common install environments include machine frames, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general sheet metal or structural component work. The unified coarse thread allows for faster engagement and is tolerant of minor thread damage during assembly.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 3/4-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Fillister head profile provides deep slot engagement and reduced head footprint
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance over steel base material
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and mechanical compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 tapped hole with a fillister head slotted fastener per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver or bit driver sized to the slot. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing internal fastener points in electrical or HVAC assemblies. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the slot by using oversized drivers or impact tools without a torque-limiting clutch. Thread engagement depth should meet a minimum of one times the nominal diameter for steel-to-steel applications per standard fastener practice.
