Value Collection 3740MPF 3/8-16 X 2.5in Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3740MPF is a 3/8-16 machine screw with a flat head and Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. The screw measures 2.5 inches in overall length and is threaded 3/8-16 UNC, making it suited for standard inch-system fastening applications. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole. This fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. It is used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and general contractors in a wide range of light industrial and commercial assembly tasks.

This screw is appropriate for use in metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate assemblies where a flush or countersunk finish is required. The 3/8-16 thread pitch is a common coarse-thread size found in general mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and structural fastening. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. Installers working on machinery, panels, brackets, and enclosures will recognize this as a standard service fastener.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 2.5 inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Flat head design sits flush when installed in a properly countersunk surface
• Phillips drive works with standard Phillips bits and hand drivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system machine screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 coarse-thread flat head fastener in steel with zinc finish.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by any trade requiring mechanical assembly, including millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general contractors. A properly sized countersink must be prepared in the mating material before installation to achieve a flush head seating. Use a correctly sized Phillips driver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Torque to values appropriate for the Grade J82 material and the joint requirements of the specific application.
