Value Collection 3756MPP 3/8-16 X 3.5in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3756MPP is a 3/8-16 coarse-thread machine screw with a pan head and Phillips drive, designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in metal assemblies. The screw measures 3.5 inches in length under head and 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 use in structural and non-structural fastening applications where inch-series hardware is specified. This screw ships individually and is sold in minimum order quantities of 5 units. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use this type of hardware for panel attachment, equipment mounting, and component assembly.

This fastener is well suited for light industrial and commercial applications requiring a 3/8-16 thread engagement with moderate head profile. The pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface without requiring a countersunk hole, making it appropriate for flat and sheet metal surfaces. It is used wherever Phillips drive tooling is preferred and a zinc-coated steel screw meets the environmental and load requirements of the application.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 coarse unified national thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• Pan head profile suits flat and light sheet metal surfaces without countersinking
• Phillips drive for use with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly humid environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Sold without washer; specify separate hardware as needed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use with 3/8-16 tapped holes or standard hex nuts in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using a Phillips-tip screwdriver or bit driver sized for the fastener. Verify thread engagement in the receiving material before applying torque to avoid cross-threading or stripping. Ensure mating tapped holes or nuts are clean and free of debris prior to installation. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment codes for fastener selection and torque requirements on the specific assembly.
