Value Collection MP97058 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in Grade 5 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP97058 is a 3/8-16 x 2 inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish. This fastener features partial threading along the shank and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. It is intended for structural and mechanical assembly applications where a controlled grip length is required. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use hex head cap screws like this to secure equipment frames, brackets, and mounting hardware. A standard 9/16 inch hex wrench or socket is used for installation and removal.

This screw is suited for general industrial and trade applications where inch-series fasteners are specified. The 3/8-16 UNC thread form is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American mechanical assemblies, making this screw a practical stock item for service vans, shops, and job sites. The partial thread design provides a smooth shank section beneath the head, which is useful when clamping two components together without thread engagement in the upper material. Sold in a package quantity of 25 units per order.

Installation Notes

Install with a 9/16 inch hex socket or open-end wrench. Always match thread pitch and diameter to the tapped hole or nut before driving to avoid cross-threading. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening or removing hardware on electrical or mechanical assemblies per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use uncoated fasteners in corrosive or outdoor environments without additional corrosion protection.
