Value Collection 207505 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207505 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw intended for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening applications. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated, providing a bright finish with solid corrosion resistance in moderate environments. The screw measures 1/2-13 thread size with a 2-3/4 inch length under head, following Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. At 0.3 pounds, it is sized for mid-duty fastening work across HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, pump housings, and similar trade assemblies where stainless hardware is specified.

This hex cap screw suits residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance matters more than high tensile strength. Common install scenarios include mounting brackets, equipment skids, enclosures, and piping supports in environments with moisture exposure. Maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and HVAC service professionals routinely stock fully threaded stainless fasteners in this size range for field repairs and equipment replacement work. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire length, which is useful in thin-member or close-tolerance assemblies.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor-adjacent environments
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the entire 2-3/4 inch length under head
• UNC 1/2-13 thread form is compatible with standard hex nuts, locknuts, and threaded inserts
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without coating buildup on thread flanks
• Standard hex drive accepts common 3/4 inch wrenches and sockets found in most field tool kits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC fastener for use with any 1/2-13 threaded nut, coupling, or tapped hole conforming to Unified National Coarse thread specifications in inch-measurement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/4 inch open-end wrench or socket. Torque to the fastener manufacturer or equipment OEM specifications for 1/2-13 stainless hardware, as 18-8 stainless is softer than alloy steel grades and susceptible to galling if driven dry at high speed. Apply an anti-seize compound to threads before installation to reduce galling risk on stainless-to-stainless joints. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment service documentation for proper fastener torque sequences.
