Armor Coat UST236008 Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 7in

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST236008 is a partially threaded socket cap screw designed for high-strength bolted joint applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. It features a 1/2-13 thread size and a length under head of 7 inches, making it suited for deep-reach fastening where standard-length screws fall short. The screw is machined from alloy steel and finished with an Armor Coat coating for added corrosion resistance. A 3/8-inch hex key drive allows precise torque application in confined spaces. This fastener conforms to ASME B18.3, ensuring dimensional consistency for trade and manufacturing use.

This socket cap screw is used in equipment fabrication, machine building, and maintenance applications where a high-clamp-load fastener with a low-profile head is required. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface for shear-loaded joints. Typical installers include millwrights, industrial mechanics, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians working on metal framing, machinery, or structural steel connections.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 thread size for high-load bolted connections
• 7-inch length under head for deep-reach fastening applications
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth shank section for shear-loaded joints
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• Armor Coat finish for corrosion resistance
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive for precise torque in confined spaces
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and general-use replacement socket cap screw for 1/2-13 threaded applications requiring a 7-inch length under head and ASME B18.3 compliance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright using a calibrated torque wrench and a 3/8-inch hex key or hex socket. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any bolted joint. Fastener should be seated flush against the bearing surface without cross-threading. Follow applicable industry torque guidelines for Grade 8 or equivalent alloy steel cap screws based on joint design requirements.
