Value Collection HCI20370200-050BX Hex Head Bolt 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI20370200-050BX is a 3/8-16 hex head bolt intended for general fastening applications across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural trades. The bolt measures 2 inches in length under the head, features partial threading, and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It conforms to ASTM A307 standards, making it suitable for low-carbon steel fastening work where controlled tensile strength requirements apply. The hex drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets, and the 3/8-16 UNC thread pitch is one of the most common inch-series thread sizes in trade use. This SKU ships in a box of 50 units.

This bolt is used wherever a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded hex fastener is called for in light to medium structural connections. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket assembly, mechanical enclosures, and general service work in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations. The uncoated finish is appropriate for interior or dry environments. Grade 2 hardware is a standard general-purpose choice where higher-strength grades such as Grade 5 or Grade 8 are not specified by design or code.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size, one of the most stocked inch-series fastener sizes in the trades
• 2-inch length measured under the head for consistent installation depth reference
• Partially threaded shank allows for bearing load along the unthreaded body
• Grade 2 steel meets ASTM A307 specifications for general-purpose low-carbon steel bolts
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for dry, interior fastening applications
• Box of 50 units supports job-site stocking and bulk service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head bolt for general-purpose fastening across mechanical and trade applications where ASTM A307 Grade 2 hardware is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Confirm that the mating nut or tapped hole is also 3/8-16 UNC thread standard before assembly. Grade 2 bolts should not be substituted in applications where Grade 5 or Grade 8 fasteners are specified by engineering or code. Apply fastener torque per the applicable project specification or standard fastener torque tables for 3/8-16 Grade 2 hardware.
