Value Collection CAI203702000-050B Carriage Bolt 3/8-16 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI203702000-050B is a 3/8-16 carriage bolt with a 2-inch length under head and a square neck drive style. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener meets ASTM A307 standards for general-purpose structural and mechanical applications. The square neck beneath the domed head locks into place when driven through wood or soft materials, preventing rotation during nut tightening. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this bolt is a practical stocking item for contractors, maintenance crews, and trade professionals who need reliable inch-series fasteners in volume.

This carriage bolt is suited for general construction, wood-to-wood connections, and light structural assemblies where a finished, low-profile head is required on the exposed face. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. It is commonly used in decking, framing, equipment mounting, and utility applications across residential and light commercial job sites. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance techs will find this bolt a straightforward match for standard UNC threaded fastener needs.

Designed as a standard inch-series replacement or stocking carriage bolt for use with any 3/8-16 UNC threaded nut and washer in general construction and mechanical fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance technicians using a standard wrench or socket on the mating nut. Insert the bolt through the pre-drilled hole so the square neck seats firmly in the material before threading and tightening the nut. Do not apply torque directly to the domed head. Follow applicable building codes and load specifications for the specific assembly.
