Value Collection MP30227 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-24 X 3/4 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30227 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The 3/8-24 UNF thread form provides fine-pitch engagement suited to applications requiring precise clamping force or vibration resistance. At 3/4 inches length under head, this screw is commonly used in light-to-medium duty assemblies across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical fabrication. Sold in a package of 25 pieces.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications where an inch-system fine-thread hex cap screw is specified. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians routinely use Grade 5 zinc-plated hardware for equipment mounting, panel attachment, and bracket assembly. The zinc coating provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the full grip length, making it well suited for shallow-depth tapped holes.

Installation Notes

Install using the appropriate 9/16-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is compatible with the 3/8-24 UNF thread class before installation. Power down or de-energize equipment before fastening components inside electrical or HVAC enclosures. Do not use in applications requiring stainless steel or high-strength Grade 8 hardware without verifying the specification.
