Value Collection 202772B Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 202772B is a 1/2-13 hex head cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener offers superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and marine environments compared to standard 304-grade material. The screw features a 3/4-inch hex drive and measures 1 inch under the head with a 1/2-13 UNC thread form. It is a dependable choice for mechanical, structural, and process-industry fastening tasks where material integrity and long service life are critical.

This fastener is suited for use in marine, chemical processing, food service, and outdoor industrial environments where exposure to moisture, salt, or corrosive agents is a regular concern. The UNC thread standard makes it compatible with standard inch-pattern nuts, inserts, and tapped holes common across HVAC equipment frames, plumbing fixture mounting, pool equipment enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in wet or corrosive service conditions commonly specify 316 stainless fasteners for these installations.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-pattern hardware
• 1 inch length under head for precise fastening depth in common structural connections
• 3/4-inch hex head for use with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for straightforward integration with US-standard components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series hex head cap screw suitable for use with any compatible 1/2-13 nut, insert, or tapped hole conforming to UNC thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, or HVAC mechanics using a standard 3/4-inch wrench or socket. Always de-energize or shut down the equipment being serviced before removing or replacing fasteners. Apply anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel when fastening into dissimilar metals to prevent galling. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the applicable structural or equipment specification before torquing.
