Value Collection 97058 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97058 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with no additional coating, this screw measures 2 inches under the head and features partial threading along the shank. The Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. Partial threading provides a stronger clamping force in through-bolted assemblies by ensuring the unthreaded shank bears shear loads. This fastener is a standard choice for HVAC equipment mounting, ductwork frames, mechanical skids, and general trade fabrication work. Sold in a 50-piece pack.

This screw suits a wide range of commercial and residential trade installations. Common uses include mounting HVAC equipment frames, securing electrical enclosures, fastening plumbing hangers and support brackets, and general mechanical assembly. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is one of the most widely used coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, making this fastener compatible with standard 3/8-16 nuts, inserts, and threaded holes across a broad range of equipment and structural components.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head suits through-bolted and deep-clearance applications
• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-strength tensile performance
• Partially threaded shank improves shear resistance in bolted joints
• Uncoated finish — suitable for dry interior use or where field coating will be applied
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standard
• 50-piece pack supports job-site and shop inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC nuts, flat washers, lock washers, and threaded inserts. Fits any application requiring an ASME B18.2.1 compliant hex head cap screw in the 3/8-16 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require a licensed trade in most applications, but fastener selection should follow applicable mechanical, structural, or equipment codes. Use the correct driver socket or open-end wrench sized for a 3/8-inch hex bolt head. Always ensure the mating thread or nut matches the 3/8-16 UNC specification before installation. Uncoated fasteners should not be used in wet, outdoor, or corrosive environments without appropriate protective coating or substitution with a corrosion-resistant grade.
