Value Collection 580822PS Machine Screw 3/8-16 X 5/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 580822PS is a flat head slotted machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications in metal, wood, and composite assemblies. Built to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this screw features a 3/8-16 thread size and a 5/8-inch overall length. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface of the mating material when properly countersunk, making it well-suited for applications where a low-profile finish is required. It is constructed from steel with a zinc finish that provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. Installation is performed with a standard slotted flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit driver.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical assembly work. The 3/8-16 coarse thread pattern is a common inch-series size found in ferrous metal fastening contexts. The zinc-finished steel construction suits dry or low-moisture indoor environments. Tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers who require a flush-mount fastener in standard inch dimensions will find this screw appropriate for routine field and shop work.

Key Features

• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation for a low-profile finish
• 3/8-16 coarse thread provides strong thread engagement in steel and aluminum substrates
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor use
• Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional consistency
• Steel construction with Material Grade J82 for reliable mechanical performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 flat head slotted fastener per ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver to avoid cam-out and head damage. The mating material should be pre-drilled and countersunk to the appropriate angle to achieve a flush seating surface for the flat head. Follow applicable fastener torque guidelines for the specific substrate and application per relevant mechanical codes. Do not over-torque, as this can strip the slotted drive or damage the fastener head.
