Value Collection 014144PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014144PS is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. This fastener features a 1/2-13 UNC thread and measures 3.5 inches in length under the head. Driven with a 3/8 inch hex key, the socket cap head allows installation in tight clearances where a standard wrench cannot reach. Constructed from 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw provides superior resistance to corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments. It is well suited for use by millwrights, pipefitters, maintenance mechanics, and general contractors requiring reliable metal fastening.

This socket cap screw is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy-duty structural fastening applications. The 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread provides strong thread engagement in steel, aluminum, and structural plastic assemblies. The 316 stainless steel grade makes it a practical choice for food processing equipment, marine hardware, chemical processing fixtures, and outdoor structural connections where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode. It installs into tapped holes or with a compatible hex nut and is commonly used in equipment fabrication, machinery mounting, and maintenance repair work.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for strong thread engagement and easy installation
• 3.5 inch length under head accommodates thicker material stacks and deep fastening applications
• 3/8 inch hex drive socket head allows use in confined spaces where external wrenching is not possible
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy for precision-fit threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or nut conforming to the 1/2-13 UNC thread standard in inch-series fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3/8 inch hex key or Allen driver; a torque wrench with the appropriate hex bit socket is recommended for torque-sensitive applications. Always verify that the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in applications subject to galvanic corrosion risk without appropriate isolation. Follow applicable codes and engineering specifications for fastener torque and joint design.
