Value Collection 37160BMGNFG Hex Head Bolt 3/8-16 10in Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 37160BMGNFG is a Grade 2 galvanized steel hex head bolt with a 3/8-16 thread size and a 10-inch length under head. It features partial threading and a hot-dipped galvanized finish, providing corrosion resistance for outdoor, wet, or exposed-environment applications. The 9/16-inch hex drive is compatible with standard wrenches and sockets. This bolt conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 standards, making it suitable for general structural and mechanical fastening tasks performed by contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals.

This bolt is well suited for general construction, mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and utility installations where a partially threaded, large-diameter fastener is required. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exterior applications, treated lumber contact, and other environments where bare steel hardware would corrode prematurely. It is commonly used in framing, equipment mounting, and infrastructure maintenance work.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 thread size with 10-inch length under head for deep fastening applications
• Partial threading allows for a smooth shank grip zone between clamped materials
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance over electroplated alternatives
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and B18.2.2 dimensional standards
• 9/16-inch hex drive compatible with standard hand and power tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 partially threaded hex head bolt conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2, suitable for use with compatible 3/8-16 nuts and threaded fastener hardware in general mechanical and structural applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using a properly sized 9/16-inch wrench or socket. Always use a compatible Grade 2 or higher nut and appropriate flat washers to distribute load and protect mating surfaces. Follow applicable building codes and structural specifications when using this fastener in load-bearing connections. Do not mix Grade 2 hardware with higher-grade fasteners in the same joint without engineering review.
