Value Collection R50000237 Machine Screw 3/8-16 2.5in Round Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000237 is a 3/8-16 UNC machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish. At 2.5 inches in length measured under the head, this fastener is suited for medium-duty mechanical assembly work where a standard inch-series coarse-thread screw is required. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in general-purpose indoor and light industrial applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this screw is a practical stock item for maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and field service kits.

This screw is appropriate for use in structural assembly, equipment mounting, and general mechanical fastening across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light manufacturing environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread form is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in inch-series fastener applications, making it widely compatible with standard tapped holes, hex nuts, and threaded inserts found throughout trade equipment and enclosures. The round head profile seats flush over through-holes without requiring a countersink or counterbore.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-series machine screw compatible with standard 3/8-16 UNC tapped holes, hex nuts, and threaded inserts used across trade equipment, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit sized for a 3/8-inch round head screw. Ensure the mating thread or nut is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before accessing fastened panels or components. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and material compatibility.
