Value Collection 019357PR Low Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 019357PR is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a standard-height cap screw head would interfere with adjacent components or mating surfaces. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC thread by 1-1/4 inches in length (measured under head), it is fully threaded and accepts a 1/4-inch hex key for installation. The alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength, while the black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.8 standards and is suitable for general mechanical assembly work performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople.

This screw is used in applications where clearance above the fastener head is limited, such as recessed mounting channels, fixture plates, jigs, tooling, and machinery assemblies. The low-profile socket cap head sits closer to the work surface than a standard socket cap, reducing protrusion in tight-clearance installations. The 1/2-13 UNC thread is a common inch-series coarse thread that mates with standard tapped holes and inserts found throughout industrial and mechanical fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces clearance requirements compared to standard socket cap screws
• 1/2-13 UNC fully threaded shank over 1-1/4 inches length under head
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen-drive bits
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile load capacity
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and non-reflective surface
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.8 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC low socket cap screw conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.8. Mates with standard 1/2-13 tapped holes in inch-series threaded assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install with a 1/4-inch hex key or socket-drive hex bit. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Follow applicable torque specifications from your assembly documentation for 1/2-13 alloy steel fasteners. Do not exceed the rated tensile strength of the fastener by over-torquing in soft or damaged threads.
