Value Collection MP30058 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in Grade 5 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30058 is a 3/8-16 x 2-inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features partial threading along the shank and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The unified national coarse (UNC) thread pattern provides reliable clamping force in general structural and mechanical fastening applications. This screw is sold in a pack of 25 and is a standard inch-system fastener suited for use by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals working on equipment assemblies and structural connections.

This fastener is appropriate for use in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a 3/8-16 UNC thread is specified. Typical applications include equipment mounting, structural steel connections, and general-purpose bolted joints in HVAC systems, plumbing equipment frames, and industrial machinery. The partial threading design is suited for applications requiring a smooth shank section for shear load resistance or close-tolerance hole fits. Length is measured under the head per standard practice.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-strength performance for mechanical and structural fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-system coarse thread sizes in trade work
• Partially threaded shank allows smooth bearing surface for shear and close-tolerance applications
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 for dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• Sold in a 25-piece pack for job-site and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system hex head cap screw for any application calling for a 3/8-16 UNC x 2-inch Grade 5 partially threaded fastener per ASME B18.2.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanic, millwright, or licensed trade professional using a standard hex wrench, socket, or impact driver sized for a 3/8-16 hex head. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut matches 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before installation. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant standards for Grade 5 fasteners. Do not exceed the rated grade strength of the fastener by applying excessive torque or impact force.
