Value Collection HCI203703500FT-050BX Hex Head Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI203703500FT-050BX is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications across a wide range of trade and industrial settings. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener measures 3/8-16 thread size with a 3-1/2 inch length under head. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. The fully threaded shank delivers consistent thread engagement along the entire length, making it well-suited for through-bolting and clamping assemblies where uniform grip is required.

This hex head cap screw is used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general construction applications where a standard inch-series UNC fastener is specified. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in trade work, compatible with standard hex nuts, lock nuts, and threaded inserts of the same specification. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors regularly use fasteners of this type for equipment mounting, panel attachment, and structural assembly tasks. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in through-bolt and clamping applications
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread — one of the most widely used inch-series thread standards in trade work
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard commercial fastener strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments
• 3-1/2 inch length under head accommodates thicker assemblies and stacked material fastening
• Hex drive head works with standard wrenches and sockets — no special tooling required

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, lock washers, and threaded inserts conforming to inch-series UNC specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 3/8-16 fastener head. Ensure mating threads and bearing surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly. Apply thread-locking compound or appropriate washer hardware where vibration is a concern. Always follow applicable building, mechanical, or electrical codes when using fasteners in structural or equipment-mounting applications.
