Value Collection MPPI03702000-100BX Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI03702000-100BX is a 3/8-16 x 2-inch pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, structural, and trade assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard power or hand tools. The 3/8-16 thread is a coarse unified national thread designation, compatible with standard tapped holes, threaded inserts, and hex nuts of the same size. Length is measured under the head at 2 inches.

This machine screw is used in a wide range of trade and industrial assembly scenarios including HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel and enclosure fastening, plumbing fixture brackets, and general structural assembly. It is suited for steel-to-steel and steel-to-aluminum connections where a flush or low-profile fastener head is required. The zinc plating makes it a practical choice for interior environments where moderate moisture resistance is needed. Installers working in light commercial and residential construction will find this a common general-purpose fastening solution.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 2-inch length measured under the head for precise fitment in threaded assemblies
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface for secure clamping
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 3 Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc plating for corrosion resistance in dry and low-moisture environments
• Meets ANSI B 18.6.7 M, DIN 7985, ISO 7045, and JIS B 1111 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use machine screw for applications requiring a 3/8-16 coarse-thread pan head fastener in steel with zinc finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, technician, or tradesperson familiar with fastener torque requirements for the specific application and material stack. Always ensure the mating thread or nut matches the 3/8-16 thread specification before installation. Do not over-torque, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof load ratings than Grade 5 or Grade 8 fasteners. Consult the relevant equipment or assembly documentation for torque specifications.
