Value Collection MSFI03701250-050BX Machine Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFI03701250-050BX is a 3/8-16 UNC flat head slotted machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance in standard indoor and sheltered environments. At 1-1/4 inches overall length with a flat head profile, it sits flush when countersunk into the mating surface. This hardware is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople for equipment panel assembly, bracket mounting, and structural fastening where a flush-mount fastener is required.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where Grade 2 steel meets the load requirements of the assembly. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pitch is a common coarse-thread standard found in steel brackets, junction boxes, equipment frames, and enclosures across multiple trades. The slotted drive accommodates a flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible with standard hand tools. This listing is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

De-energize any electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before performing fastener work on live panels or mechanical assemblies. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Verify thread engagement depth and substrate material compatibility before installation. Torque to the specification called out in the equipment manufacturer documentation for the assembly being serviced.
