Value Collection HCI20370700-025BX Hex Head Bolt 3/8-16 7in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI20370700-025BX is a 3/8-16 hex head bolt with a 7-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright uncoated finish. Partially threaded along the shank, this bolt conforms to ASTM A307 standards for general-purpose structural and mechanical fastening applications. It uses Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form, which is the standard for most inch-system fastener applications in the trades. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces, this bolt is suited for maintenance, repair, and fabrication work across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical installations.

This hex head bolt is appropriate for a wide range of commercial and residential trade applications where a reliable, mid-strength fastener is required. The partially threaded shank allows the unthreaded section to bear shear loads, making it useful in joint assemblies where the bolt passes through clearance holes before engaging a nut or tapped thread. Typical applications include equipment mounting, structural framing connections, and mechanical assembly work.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• 7-inch length under head provides extended grip range for thick stack assemblies
• Partially threaded shank supports shear-load applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 fastener standards
• Bright uncoated finish — suitable for dry or protected indoor environments
• Sold in multiples of 25 for job-site and shop stocking efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-series hex bolt for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers in mechanical and structural fastening assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using the appropriate hex wrench or socket set. Verify that mating components — nuts, washers, and tapped holes — match the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before installation. The bright uncoated finish offers no corrosion resistance; use in protected indoor environments or apply appropriate coating if moisture exposure is expected. Follow applicable codes and torque guidelines for the specific joint type and load requirements of the assembly.
