It features partial threading and is dimensioned under the head per standard length measurement practice. The UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts. This fastener is suited for general mechanical assembly, structural connections, and equipment maintenance tasks performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors. Each order includes a package of 25 screws, making it practical for service kits and shop stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex head cap screw is appropriate for use in light-to-medium structural and mechanical assembly applications across residential and commercial trade work. Partial threading provides a stronger clamping grip in through-bolt configurations where the unthreaded shank spans the joint material. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for interior and protected exterior environments. Trade professionals will find this fastener useful for equipment mounting, panel attachment, and general fabrication work requiring a reliable UNC-threaded fastener in the 3\/8-inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch length under head for through-bolt and deep-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 5 steel construction for medium-strength mechanical fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePartially threaded shank improves clamping force in multi-material joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 25 supports service stock and bulk assembly tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any application requiring a 3\/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw with a 2-1\/2 inch length under head, Grade 5 steel construction, and a zinc-plated finish in partial-thread configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a standard hex wrench or socket drive sized for a 3\/8-16 fastener.
