Value Collection 3748MPP Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3748MPP is a pan head Phillips machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications. This screw features a 3/8-16 thread size with a 3-inch length measured under the head. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it appropriate for structural and mechanical assemblies where a corrosion-resistant coated fastener is required. The pan head profile offers a low-clearance seating surface and wide bearing area, while the Phillips drive allows for efficient installation with standard tooling. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals will find this a straightforward drop-in for common repair and assembly tasks.

This machine screw is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, machine assembly, panel fastening, and general fabrication work. The 3/8-16 coarse thread is a common imperial size used across a wide range of metal and thermoplastic components. It installs without a washer, making it appropriate where a clean, flush-bearing head is needed directly against the work surface.

Key Features

• Thread size 3/8-16 coarse imperial thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 3-inch length under head for fastening through thicker material stacks
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing seating surface
• Phillips drive for fast installation with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for applications requiring a 3/8-16 coarse-thread pan head machine screw with a 3-inch length under head in steel with zinc finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or electricians using a Phillips screwdriver or appropriately sized power driver bit. Always ensure the mating nut or tapped hole is clean, undamaged, and correctly sized for 3/8-16 thread before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads in soft base materials. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer for the assembly being serviced.
