Value Collection MP30231 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-24 Grade 5 Zinc 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30231 is a 3/8-24 UNF hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications where fine-thread engagement and reliable clamping force are required. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw measures 1-1/2 inches under the head and is partially threaded. The zinc coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. Conforming to ASME B18.2.1, this fastener meets recognized dimensional standards for hex cap screws. Sold in a package of 25, it is a practical choice for mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance personnel working on assemblies that call for a fine-thread 3/8-inch fastener.

This hex cap screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, structural connections, equipment mounting, and maintenance applications across commercial and industrial settings. The 3/8-24 UNF thread pitch is commonly used where greater thread engagement strength or finer adjustment is needed compared to coarse-thread equivalents. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in bolted joint designs. This fastener is appropriate for use by licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working to engineered specifications.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine-thread configuration for increased thread engagement strength
• Grade 5 steel construction for medium-strength fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• Partially threaded shank accommodates shear loading in bolted joints
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex cap screws
• Sold in a package of 25 for job-site and maintenance stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head cap screw per ASME B18.2.1 for use in any application requiring a 3/8-24 UNF partially threaded fastener in Grade 5 steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanics or tradespeople following applicable engineering specifications and torque requirements for the assembly. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live machinery. Use a properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid rounding the fastener head. Do not substitute this fine-thread fastener in applications that specify a coarse-thread UNC configuration without verifying thread compatibility with the mating part.
