Value Collection MSTI03700750-050BX 3/8-16 Truss Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI03700750-050BX is a truss head machine screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. It features a slotted drive and a low-profile, wide-diameter truss head that distributes clamping load across a broader surface area than standard pan or round head styles. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards. The thread size is 3/8-16 (coarse thread, unified national), and the length under head is 3/4 inches. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per box.

This fastener is suited for light-duty to medium-duty assembly work in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general sheet metal or structural applications. The 3/8-16 coarse thread provides reliable engagement in steel, aluminum, and plastic tapped holes. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers. Truss head geometry is particularly useful where a low-profile head with wide bearing surface is required to prevent pull-through in thin or soft materials.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad material compatibility
• Truss head profile provides wide bearing surface and low clearance height
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Sold in a 50-piece box for job-site and shop inventory use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 coarse thread machine screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 3/8-16 unified national coarse thread specifications per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools beyond a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit rated for 3/8-inch fasteners. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not over-torque, as Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade fasteners. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical code requirements when used in equipment assemblies.
