Value Collection 207499 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 2-1/4 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207499 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical assembly, fabrication, and maintenance applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. The 1/2-13 UNC thread designation indicates a coarse thread form, which seats quickly and resists cross-threading during installation. At 2-1/4 inches under the head, it provides sufficient grip length for typical bolted joint applications. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators working with stainless hardware will find this screw suitable for a wide range of structural and equipment-mounting tasks.

This fastener is appropriate for use in light industrial, commercial, and mechanical maintenance settings where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or hygiene requirements. Common applications include equipment frames, enclosures, pipe supports, and machinery mounting hardware. The UNC coarse thread form is compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts of the same thread designation. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 5 to meet the minimum order quantity requirement.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire fastener length for maximum clamping flexibility
• UNC coarse thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Uncoated finish maintains true stainless surface without added plating that could affect thread tolerances
• 1/2-13 thread size suits medium-duty bolted joint applications common in mechanical and trade work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for applications requiring 1/2-13 UNC fully threaded hex head cap screws in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance mechanics, millwrights, or trade professionals using a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 1/2-13 fastener. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which is common with stainless fasteners. Applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is recommended to reduce the risk of galling during installation and future removal. Always verify torque requirements against the specific joint design and applicable standards before final tightening.
