Value Collection 208780C Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208780C is a 1/2-13 hex head cap screw measuring 2-1/2 inches under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The 18-8 grade alloy provides solid corrosion resistance and adequate tensile strength for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. The 3/4-inch hex drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets. This fastener follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard, making it broadly compatible with tapped holes and standard hex nuts across inch-measurement assemblies. Plumbers, HVAC mechanics, electricians, and general tradespeople commonly use this size in equipment mounting, panel assembly, and pipe support work.

This screw is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where mild-to-moderate corrosion resistance is required. The 18-8 stainless composition performs reliably in humid, wet, or chemically mild environments such as mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment pads, and utility installations. It is appropriate for light structural connections, equipment brackets, and general trade fastening where a UNC 1/2-13 thread pattern is specified.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread pattern fits standard tapped holes and hex nuts in inch-measurement assemblies
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 3/4-inch hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and impact sockets
• Inch measurement system for use with standard trade hardware and components

Compatibility

Designed for use in any assembly requiring a 1/2-13 UNC inch-standard hex head cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/4-inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. De-energize or depressurize any system before fastening components under load. Stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply anti-seize compound to threads when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque requirements specific to the assembly.
