Value Collection R63094446 Machine Screw 3/8-16 Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63094446 is a 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 inch round head machine screw machined from brass with a slotted drive. It follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and is supplied bright and uncoated, preserving the natural brass finish. Length is measured under the head at 2-1/2 inches. No washer is included. This fastener is a standard inch-system component suitable for general mechanical assembly, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and HVAC equipment where a corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic fastener is required. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors routinely specify brass hardware in environments where ferrous fasteners would corrode or create interference.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial trade work. Typical uses include securing terminal blocks, panel hardware, valve bodies, fixture trim, and equipment covers. The slotted round head provides a low-profile bearing surface and is driven with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Brass construction makes this screw appropriate for wet or humid environments, marine-adjacent applications, and anywhere galvanic compatibility with brass or bronze mating hardware is needed.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad hardware compatibility
• 2-1/2 inch length under head for secure engagement in deeper through-hole assemblies
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties
• Round head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the mating surface
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty bits required
• Bright uncoated finish preserves conductivity where needed in electrical applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-system machine screw compatible with any tapped hole or nut conforming to Unified National Coarse thread specifications at that diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools beyond a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate socket. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten brass fasteners into steel or cast hardware, as brass is softer and the threads may deform. Verify torque requirements against the equipment manufacturer specifications for the assembly being serviced.
