Value Collection HCI203704500FT-050BX Hex Head Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI203704500FT-050BX is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in structural, mechanical, and industrial assembly applications. It features a 3/8-16 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread and measures 4.5 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener provides adequate tensile strength for light-to-medium load applications while the zinc coating offers basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades will find this screw suitable for panel mounting, equipment fastening, and structural framing connections.

This hex head cap screw is intended for use in standard inch-measurement fastening scenarios requiring a 3/8-16 UNC thread engagement. The fully threaded shank allows maximum thread engagement across the full 4.5-inch length, making it well suited for through-bolt applications or thick-material fastening where partial threading would leave insufficient grip. It is commonly used in light structural assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure installation, and general mechanical fabrication. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per transaction, with a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement over the entire 4.5-inch length under head
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• Grade 2 steel construction suits light-to-medium load and general-purpose fastening requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and dry-environment use
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets for quick installation and removal
• Minimum order quantity of 50 makes this practical for service stock and recurring maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-series nuts, washers, and tapped holes in general mechanical and light structural fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with an appropriately sized hex wrench or socket driver rated for the fastener grade. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque and fastener selection in load-bearing applications. Do not use in applications requiring Grade 5 or Grade 8 tensile strength ratings, as Grade 2 fasteners are not rated for high-stress or safety-critical structural joints.
