Value Collection 3728MSP Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The Value Collection 3728MSP is a pan head slotted machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metalworking, mechanical assembly, and maintenance applications. Threaded 3/8-16 with a 1-3/4 inch length measured under the head, this screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for applications where dimensional consistency and material grade compliance are required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers regularly install these fasteners in light to medium duty mechanical assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, equipment assembly, and repair tasks requiring a unified inch thread fastener. The 3/8-16 coarse thread is a common size for structural and mechanical connections in steel fabrication and general industrial use. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface without the need for a washer, and the slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head per ASME B18.6.3 measurement standard
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load without a washer
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Grade J82 material specification per SAE J82 standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 threaded fastener with a pan head slotted drive, conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is 3/8-16 thread form before driving the fastener. De-energize or lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners in powered machinery. Do not exceed the rated material grade torque range for the application; consult engineering references for appropriate torque values based on joint material and lubrication condition.
