Value Collection 202783 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 202783 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in 1/2-13 UNC thread size with a 2-inch length under head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, and marine environments. The fully threaded shank provides consistent thread engagement along the full length of the fastener, making it well suited for through-bolting and applications where maximum thread contact is required. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, pool, and industrial service work reach for 316-grade hardware when standard carbon steel would corrode prematurely.

This cap screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical installations where corrosion-resistant fasteners are specified. Common applications include pipe flange connections, equipment mounting in corrosive or high-moisture environments, pool mechanical room assemblies, and general trade service work requiring stainless hardware. The 1/2-13 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common inch-series sizes in trade use, compatible with standard hex nuts, locknuts, and threaded inserts of the same pitch.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the full 2-inch length under head
• 1/2-13 UNC thread standard — one of the most common inch-series fastener sizes in trade applications
• Bright, uncoated finish — no galvanic incompatibility risk from plating materials
• Hex head drive accepts standard 3/4-inch wrenches and sockets for fast installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, lock washers, and threaded inserts in inch-series fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified maintenance technicians using standard wrenches or socket sets. De-energize and depressurize any system before replacing or installing fasteners on pressurized lines, flanges, or equipment housings. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in submerged or highly conductive environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque recommendations for the joint type and material being fastened.
