Value Collection R50000236 Machine Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000236 is a 3/8-16 x 2 inch round head slotted machine screw made from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish. It uses Unified National Coarse (UNC) threading and is measured from the underside of the head to the tip, giving a full 2 inches of thread engagement length. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty environments. This fastener is sold in multiples of 100 and is suited for structural assembly, equipment mounting, and general mechanical fabrication where a slotted drive and round head profile are required.

This screw is used in general industrial, commercial, and trade applications where UNC-threaded fasteners are specified. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel assembly, plumbing fixture brackets, and light structural metalwork. The round head profile sits above the mating surface, making it appropriate for applications where a low-profile or flush finish is not required. Installers working with existing 3/8-16 tapped holes or standard hex nuts will find this a direct-fit fastener for those thread specifications.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts
• 2-inch length measured under head for predictable thread engagement depth
• Round head profile provides a wide bearing surface above the mating material
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers for installation and removal
• Alloy steel construction supports higher load applications compared to low-carbon steel fasteners
• Zinc-plated finish adds basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series machine screw compatible with any application specifying a 3/8-16 thread pitch, round head, and slotted drive. No washer is included or integrated into this fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized appropriately for the head slot. Verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before installation. Avoid cross-threading by starting the fastener by hand before applying torque. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on live electrical or mechanical assemblies.
