S-94048A296 Length 3" ASME B18.2.1, ASTM A307, SAE J429 Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion protection with hot-dipped galvanized steel coating for long-lasting performance in humid or outdoor wood applications
• Maximum torque transmission through external hex head design that prevents cam-out and ensures secure fastening
• Reduced splitting and superior holding power with thread forming tapping method that compresses wood fibers rather than removing them
• Enhanced pull-out resistance with 2" minimum thread length providing maximum engagement in wood substrates
• Easy alignment and quick starts with pointed tip design that facilitates precise screw placement
• Optimized wood fastening performance with 7 threads per inch configuration that balances insertion speed and holding strength
• Reliable mechanical properties meeting ASME B18.2.1, ASTM A307, and SAE J429 standards for consistent quality and performance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These hot-dipped galvanized steel hex head wood screws are engineered to address critical challenges in wood construction and industrial applications. The thread forming design eliminates wood splitting by compressing fibers rather than cutting them, significantly improving pull-out resistance in both softwoods and hardwoods. The external hex drive system delivers maximum torque transfer for demanding applications where vibration resistance is crucial. With 3/8" diameter and 3" length, these screws provide exceptional load-bearing capacity for structural wood connections, deck building, timber framing, and outdoor furniture assembly. The hot-dipped galvanized coating offers superior corrosion protection, making them ideal for exterior applications exposed to moisture and environmental elements where ordinary fasteners would fail prematurely.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These wood screws feature 3/8" diameter with 7 threads per inch in right-hand orientation and Class 2A thread tolerances. The partially threaded design with 2" minimum thread length ensures optimal performance in wood applications. Manufactured to meet ASME B18.2.1 dimensional specifications, ASTM A307 mechanical properties, and SAE J429 Grade 2 requirements. Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) restrictions on hazardous substances and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations for chemical safety.
