Value Collection 198569 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 198569 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and structural applications. It measures 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 inches, meaning a 1/2-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch (UNC thread standard) and a 1-1/2-inch grip length. The head drives with a 3/8-inch hex. Constructed from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments. This fastener weighs 0.13 pounds per piece and is suited for installations where carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely.

This cap screw is used wherever a corrosion-resistant, fully threaded fastener is required. Common applications include outdoor equipment mounting, HVAC curb and frame assembly, pool equipment enclosures, plumbing fixture brackets, and light structural connections exposed to moisture. Trades that regularly specify 18-8 stainless hardware include HVAC installers, plumbers, pool service technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics working in humid or corrosive environments.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Fully threaded shaft along the entire 1-1/2-inch length for maximum thread engagement
• 1/2-13 UNC thread pattern for compatibility with standard imperial nuts and tapped holes
• 3/8-inch hex head drive for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets
• 0.13-pound per-piece weight suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex head cap screw for any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC fully threaded fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 3/8-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when fastening stainless steel into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable torque guidelines for 1/2-13 UNC stainless fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable code. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation.
