Value Collection 3GBM906C0800 Hex Head Bolt 3/8-16 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBM906C0800 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head bolt designed for general-purpose fastening applications across construction, mechanical, and industrial trades. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this bolt measures 8 inches in length under the head and features partial threading. The 9/16-inch hex drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets. Compliance with ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standards confirms consistent head geometry and thread tolerances. Installers working in corrosive or outdoor environments benefit from the hot-dipped galvanized coating, which provides greater zinc coverage than electroplated alternatives.

This bolt is suited for light- to medium-duty structural and mechanical assemblies where a standard inch-series fastener is required. Typical applications include wood framing connections, equipment mounting, HVAC equipment bases, and general utility work. The partial threading allows for a smooth shank section that can bear shear loads in appropriate joint configurations. Trade professionals in construction, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work frequently stock Grade 2 galvanized hex bolts for routine field use and equipment installation.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form, compatible with standard 3/8-16 hex nuts and threaded inserts
• 8-inch length under head with partial threading for combined tensile and shear applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 standards
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and exposed installations
• 9/16-inch hex drive accepts common wrenches and impact sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series replacement or stock fastener for use with any 3/8-16 UNC threaded nut, coupling, or insert conforming to ANSI/ASME dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 9/16-inch wrench or socket, either hand or power-driven. Always ensure the mating nut or threaded receiver is also rated for the intended load and environment. For structural applications, consult applicable building codes and engineering specifications before selecting fastener grade and finish. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when working with power tools and fasteners.
