- Reliable vibration resistance from the serrated locking flange, preventing loosening under dynamic loads.
- Efficient thread-cutting performance in materials like aluminum and cast iron, reducing installation effort and time.
- Versatile application compatibility across aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal, minimizing inventory needs.
- Full-thread engagement for maximum grip strength and uniform stress distribution in assemblies.
- Compliance with industry standards including ASME B18.6.3 and RoHS 3, ensuring quality and environmental safety.
Professional Applications & Engineering Value
This 3/8"-16 UNC flanged hex tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in metal fabrication and assembly, such as material brittleness and vibration-induced failures. The zinc-plated steel material offers excellent corrosion protection, while the thread-cutting design (Type F) enables self-tapping in tough substrates like cast iron and aluminum without pre-drilling in many cases. The external hex drive ensures efficient torque transmission, reducing the risk of tool slippage during high-stress installations. Combined with a serrated locking flange, it provides enhanced resistance to loosening in dynamic applications, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial fastening in machinery, automotive, and construction sectors where reliability is critical.
Specification Summary & Compliance
This screw adheres to UNC coarse thread standards with a size of 3/8"-16 and a length of 2 1/2", ensuring precise fit in accordance with ASME B18.6.3 specifications. It features a fully threaded design with a blunt tip and round shank for consistent performance. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) confirms it is free from hazardous substances, supporting safe and sustainable industrial use.
