Value Collection 3740MPP Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3740MPP is a pan head Phillips drive machine screw built for threaded fastening applications in metal assemblies, fixtures, and general mechanical fabrication. It features a 3/8-16 unified coarse thread and measures 2.5 inches in length under head. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener is sized for use with a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit and is suited for installation by machinists, maintenance technicians, and general trade professionals working with threaded assemblies.

This machine screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a 3/8-16 coarse thread pattern is specified. The pan head profile offers a low-profile, wide bearing surface suitable for through-hole applications without a washer. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, panel assembly, and structural fastening where a standardized inch-series screw is required. The zinc finish makes it a practical choice for interior applications where moderate environmental exposure is expected.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with the appropriately sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 3/8-16 before installation. Apply appropriate torque per the assembly specification for the mating material. A licensed or qualified technician should verify fastener grade requirements meet the structural demands of the application before use.
