Value Collection 204069 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 2.5in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204069 is a hex head cap screw designed for fastening applications that require corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC thread with a 2-1/2 inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, which provides superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and marine environments compared to standard 304 stainless. The 3/4 inch hex drive head accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets. It is a fully threaded, inch-system fastener suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections in corrosive or wet environments. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, or general tradespeople.

This cap screw is well suited for use in industrial, commercial, and marine settings where moisture, chemicals, or outdoor exposure would corrode carbon steel or lower-grade stainless fasteners. Common applications include pump and valve mounting, HVAC equipment supports, pool and water treatment equipment, marine hardware, and food-service equipment frames. The UNC thread standard makes it compatible with standard inch-system tapped holes and nuts of the same designation.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard inch-system hardware
• 2-1/2 inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• 3/4 inch hex drive head accommodates standard sockets and open-end wrenches
• Inch measurement system for use with standard UNC tapped holes and nuts

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel. Fits standard inch-system tapped holes and is compatible with 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts, washers, and threaded inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/4 inch socket, wrench, or hex driver. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before accessing fastener locations on live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and joint requirements based on the specific application. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in submerged or high-humidity applications to minimize galvanic corrosion risk.
