Value Collection HCI30750500NG-005BX Hex Bolt 3/8-16 5in A325

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI30750500NG-005BX is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head bolt manufactured from Grade A325 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. It measures 5 inches in length under the head and features partial threading along the shank. The hot-dipped galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to structural and outdoor fastening applications. This bolt meets ASTM A325 standards, making it appropriate for structural steel connections where specified fastener grades are required by engineering specifications or applicable codes. Tradespeople including ironworkers, structural steel erectors, and general contractors rely on this grade for bolted connections in load-bearing assemblies.

This hex head bolt is used in structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment assembly, and general industrial fastening applications where ASTM A325 compliance is required. The partial threading leaves an unthreaded bearing area along the grip length, which is standard practice in structural bolted joints where the shank must pass through a clearance hole without thread engagement in the grip region. The galvanized finish extends service life in exposed or high-humidity environments.

Key Features

• ASTM A325 certified structural bolt for load-bearing connections
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed environments
• Partially threaded shank preserves unthreaded grip length for structural joint integrity
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard nuts and threaded components
• 5-inch length under head accommodates thicker material stacks or longer grip requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an ASTM A325 structural hex bolt for use with 3/8-16 UNC standard nuts and washers in structural steel and heavy-duty fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable structural codes and engineer-of-record specifications. Snug-tighten the bolt before applying final torque per AISC or project-specific requirements. Always inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation, particularly on threads, to ensure corrosion protection is intact. Do not use impact tools at torque levels beyond the fastener assembly specification.
