Value Collection 014140PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014140PS is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and precision fit. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel in a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener features a 1/2-13 UNC thread and measures 1-3/4 inches in length under the head. It is driven with a 3/8-inch hex socket. The 316 stainless steel grade provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments, making it a dependable choice for marine, chemical, food-processing, and outdoor industrial installations. Mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople working in corrosive environments rely on this grade for long-term joint integrity.

This cap screw fits standard 1/2-13 UNC tapped holes and is suited for structural and equipment fastening in residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include securing mechanical housings, brackets, flanges, and pipe supports where stainless fasteners are specified by code or design. The 1-3/4-inch under-head length accommodates moderate-thickness mating materials common in HVAC equipment, plumbing infrastructure, and general trade work. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for strong resistance to corrosion and chloride environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1-3/4 inch length under head suits moderate material stack-ups
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive allows precise torque application with standard hand or power tools
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating that could affect dimensional tolerances or conductivity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 316 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and drive type.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using a calibrated 3/8-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut meets 1/2-13 UNC standards and is free of debris before threading. Avoid mixing stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in wet environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening stainless to stainless to prevent galling during installation.
