Value Collection 584847PS 3/8-16 Truss Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 584847PS is a truss head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications in metal, wood, and composite assemblies. It features a slotted drive and a low-profile, wide-diameter truss head that distributes clamping load over a larger bearing surface than a standard pan or round head. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards and carries a Grade J82 material designation. Thread size is 3/8-16 (coarse thread), and the length under head is 1.5 inches.

This screw is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and trade maintenance work where a flat-bearing fastener with a slotted drive is required. Common applications include electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC equipment panels, sheet metal work, and general equipment repair. The truss head profile is particularly useful where a countersunk or hex head fastener is not appropriate and a broad, low-profile bearing surface is preferred. Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for a 3/8-inch fastener head.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Truss head provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface for better load distribution
• Slotted drive for use with standard flat-blade screwdrivers or bits
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion protection
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Length under head is 1.5 inches with no washer face

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw compatible with any 3/8-16 tapped hole or matching nut per ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit rated for 3/8-inch fastener heads. Ensure the mating thread or nut is 3/8-16 coarse thread before driving. Do not overtighten, as the slotted drive can cam out under excessive torque. Verify thread engagement depth is adequate for the application before final assembly.
