Value Collection 204069C Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204069C is a 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screw machined from Grade 316 stainless steel. With a 2-1/2 inch length under head and a 3/4 inch hex drive, this fastener is built for applications that demand corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Grade 316 stainless offers superior resistance to chlorides and oxidizing environments compared to Grade 304, making it a reliable choice where moisture, chemicals, or marine exposure are factors. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors commonly specify this grade when installing equipment in wet or chemically active environments.

This screw is suited for use in plumbing assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, pump and valve installations, and structural connections where corrosion resistance is a priority. It follows Unified National Coarse thread standards, which are the dominant thread form for inch-series fasteners across mechanical and process piping applications. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts, plates, and tapped holes
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits medium-depth clamping and through-bolt applications
• 3/4 inch hex drive accepts standard socket and open-end wrenches
• Inch measurement system throughout for direct use with standard US trade hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-service fastener for any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. Power down or depressurize any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners on live systems. When torquing stainless steel fasteners, use an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling on the threads. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque specifications relevant to the joint design.
