Value Collection HCI203705000FT-050BX Hex Head Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI203705000FT-050BX is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in the 3/8-16 thread size with a 5-inch length under head. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener is suited for general-purpose bolted assembly in moderate-load applications. The UNC thread form and full threading along the shaft make it appropriate for through-bolt and stud-style installations where engagement along the full fastener length is required. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade workers use fasteners like this when securing equipment, brackets, and structural supports in mechanical systems.

This hex head cap screw is used across a wide range of trade applications including mounting HVAC equipment frames, securing plumbing support brackets, fastening electrical panel enclosures, and general mechanical assembly. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a common size found in residential and light commercial construction and equipment installation. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Fully threaded construction allows maximum flexibility in clamping applications where nut position may vary along the bolt length.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 5-inch length under head for deep through-bolt and bracket fastening applications
• Fully threaded shaft for adjustable clamping depth along the entire length
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose moderate-load use
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• Hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for quick installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 3/8-16 UNC nut, threaded insert, or tapped hole conforming to Unified National Coarse thread standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for the fastener head. Ensure mating nuts or tapped holes are clean and free of debris before threading. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before securing fasteners to enclosures or live panels. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of Grade 2 fasteners in high-stress or vibration-heavy structural applications where higher-grade hardware may be required by code.
