It measures 7\/8 inches in overall length, with the full 7\/8 inches measured from under the head. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. Grade 2 steel delivers adequate strength for light-duty mechanical and structural assembly tasks. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this screw type when securing panels, brackets, equipment housings, and fixtures where a flush-mounted head is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a countersunk, flush-finish fastener is called for. The flat head profile seats flush with or below the mating surface, making it common in equipment enclosures, electrical panels, sheet metal work, and general mechanical assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, keeping installation tooling requirements minimal. The 3\/8-16 thread is a coarse Unified National Coarse designation, compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts of the same specification. This package contains 50 screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head profile seats flush with or below the mating surface for clean, low-profile installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty bits required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for general-purpose fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a pack of 50 to support production or service work with consistent fastener stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any standard 3\/8-16 UNC tapped hole or threaded insert requiring a flat-head, slotted fastener in inch measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slot width; an undersized or oversized blade risks cam-out and fastener damage. When threading into metal, verify that the receiving hole is tapped to 3\/8-16 UNC before installation. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or lock washer when vibration is a concern, as a slotted flat-head screw without secondary retention can back out over time. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening screws on or near electrical enclosures, per applicable NEC guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWasher Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Without Washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSFI03700870-050BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718108447026,"sku":"MSFI03700870-050BX","price":3497.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7eb7b678041323439a5e90b37b844ac9.jpg?v=1788549719","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msfi03700870-050bx-3-8-16-flat-head-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
