Value Collection SBFI03702500-050BX Machine Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SBFI03702500-050BX is a 3/8-16 UNC machine screw with a flat head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 2.5 inches in overall length, with the full 2.5 inches measured as the length under the head, consistent with flat head screw standards. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and light-duty applications. This fastener is used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors for panel assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where a flush-finished surface is required. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 units per box.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial installation tasks where a countersunk flat head profile is necessary to maintain a flush surface. Common applications include mounting brackets, junction box covers, equipment frames, and structural assemblies. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a coarse unified national thread, compatible with standard 3/8-16 tapped holes and nuts. The slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is commonly found in legacy hardware and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is appropriate for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople. Always ensure the mating material is properly tapped or use a standard 3/8-16 nut on the opposite side. Do not overtighten into soft materials to avoid stripping threads. Consult applicable code requirements such as NEC or IFGC when using fasteners in electrical or gas equipment assemblies.
