Value Collection MSFI03700750-050BX Machine Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFI03700750-050BX is a 3/8-16 UNC flat head slotted machine screw made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 3/4 inches in overall length and uses a unified coarse thread (UNC) pattern. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk, making it a standard choice for general mechanical assembly. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. This package contains 50 screws and is suited for use by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and general contractors who need a reliable, off-the-shelf fastener for routine work.

This screw is used in a wide range of light-to-medium-duty mechanical and structural assembly tasks. Common applications include panel mounting, equipment framing, junction box assembly, bracket attachment, and general fabrication work. The 3/8-16 coarse thread engages quickly and holds securely in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and flat-blade bit drivers, making it accessible in virtually any toolbox on a job site. No washer is included or required under the head for standard countersunk installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC flat head slotted machine screw with a 3/4-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or flat-blade power bit. Ensure the receiving hole is tapped to 3/8-16 UNC or uses a compatible nut. For countersunk applications, the mating material should be pre-drilled and countersunk to the appropriate angle to seat the flat head flush. Do not overtighten Grade 2 fasteners in soft materials, as the threads may strip; use a torque-limiting driver where consistent clamping load is required.
