Value Collection MPPI03701500-100BX Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI03701500-100BX is a 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 inch pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. It features a Phillips drive for quick installation with standard hand or power tools. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. The thread pattern is Unified National Coarse (UNC), compatible with standard 3/8-16 tapped holes and nuts. No washer is included. The length measurement is taken from under the head, making the full bearing length 1-1/2 inches.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications, including equipment panel assembly, HVAC component mounting, electrical enclosure hardware, and general mechanical assembly. It is appropriate for technicians and tradespeople who require a reliable, standard-profile fastener with a low-profile pan head that distributes clamping load without a countersink. The zinc finish makes it suitable for dry or mildly corrosive indoor environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 1-1/2 inch length measured from under the head for accurate fitment planning
• Pan head profile provides broad clamping surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive accepts standard No. 3 Phillips bits for hand or power installation
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and machinability for general-purpose use
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC fastener compatible with any 3/8-16 tapped hole, nut, or threaded insert in conformance with Unified Thread Standard specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten Grade 2 steel fasteners in soft base materials such as aluminum or plastic, as this can strip the receiving threads. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
