Value Collection 88548250 3/8-16 X 3/4 in Hex Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548250 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in a 3/8-16 UNC thread size with a 3/4-inch length under head. Made from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance for general mechanical and structural applications. The fully threaded shank provides consistent thread engagement from tip to head, making it well-suited for clamping through thinner materials or components where partial threading would leave an unengaged gap. Sold in a pack of 50 individual screws.

This screw is used across a broad range of trade and maintenance applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture brackets, and general sheet metal or structural assemblies. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in inch-standard mechanical work, meaning compatible nuts, inserts, and tapped holes are widely available. The zinc plating provides a functional barrier against light moisture and oxidation in indoor or sheltered outdoor environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread — one of the most common inch-standard thread sizes in trade work
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement across the full 3/4-inch under-head length
• Grade 5 steel construction for medium-duty tensile and shear strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides light corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments
• Pack of 50 screws for bench stock, service van inventory, or job-site use

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8-16 UNC hex nut, coupling nut, or pre-tapped hole in inch-standard mechanical assemblies across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general equipment maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 9/16-inch hex wrench or socket driver. De-energize and lockout any equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Do not exceed the rated mechanical load for Grade 5 fasteners in structural or vibration-critical applications where Grade 8 hardware may be required per engineering specifications.
