Value Collection 3GBM906C0208 Hex Head Bolt 3/8-16 Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBM906C0208 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head bolt designed for general-purpose fastening applications. It features a 2-1/2 inch length under head with partial threading and a 9/16 inch hex drive. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this bolt provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and exposed environments. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standards. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly use Grade 2 galvanized bolts for equipment mounting, structural connections, and mechanical assemblies where corrosion protection is required.

This bolt is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a standard UNC 3/8-16 fastener with galvanized corrosion protection is specified. Typical uses include equipment supports, pipe hangers, electrical panel mounting, HVAC unit anchoring, and structural connections exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions. The partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface for clamping applications where thread engagement at the joint would be undesirable.
