Value Collection HCI203702250FT-050BX Hex Head Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI203702250FT-050BX is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and industrial applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and measures 2-1/4 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. The full-thread configuration runs the entire length under the head, maximizing thread engagement and clamping force across the full grip range. This screw is a standard choice for maintenance, fabrication, and equipment assembly work.

This fastener suits a broad range of applications including light structural assembly, machinery maintenance, fixture mounting, and general trade work. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-series coarse-thread sizes, making it compatible with a wide variety of standard nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes used in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture support, electrical enclosure assembly, and general shop fabrication. It is handled by maintenance technicians, millwrights, HVAC installers, and general contractors alike.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized trade licensing but should follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly. Always verify thread engagement depth in tapped holes before final tightening. Use appropriate hand tools or a calibrated torque wrench when specified torque values are required by the equipment or structure being assembled. Do not use Grade 2 fasteners in high-stress, shear-critical, or structural connections where higher-grade hardware is specified.
