Value Collection 474095PS Step Bolt 3/8-16 2 in Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 474095PS is a 3/8-16 step bolt designed for structural and fastening applications where a large-diameter head is required to distribute load or secure stepped assemblies. Manufactured from 1006/1050 carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this bolt measures 2 inches in length under the head with a head diameter ranging from 1.188 to 1.219 inches. It conforms to the ANSI/ASME B18.5 fastener standard and uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. Step bolts are commonly installed by ironworkers, millwrights, and general contractors in steel construction, structural framing, and equipment mounting scenarios where a broad bearing surface under the head is necessary.

This step bolt is suited for light to medium structural fastening tasks in both commercial and industrial settings. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for indoor and moderately protected outdoor environments. Its 3/8-16 UNC thread is compatible with standard 3/8-inch nuts and threaded inserts. Sold individually, it is ordered in multiples of 25 to meet minimum order requirements. Typical applications include securing walking surfaces, grating, platforms, and structural steel connections where the wide head prevents pull-through.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard nuts and threaded hardware
• 2-inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Large head diameter of 1.188 to 1.219 inches provides broad load-bearing surface
• 1006/1050 carbon steel construction delivers reliable tensile strength for general structural use
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion protection in dry or sheltered environments
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.5 fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.5 step bolt for use with 3/8-16 UNC nuts, washers, and threaded connections in general structural and industrial fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Step bolts are typically installed by ironworkers, millwrights, or maintenance mechanics using standard hand or power tools appropriate for 3/8-inch fasteners. Follow applicable torque guidance from the joint design or engineering specification for the assembly. Inspect the mating threads and hole clearance before installation to ensure proper fit. Do not use this fastener in applications requiring stainless steel or high-strength alloy grades unless the material specification has been verified against load requirements.
