Value Collection 208783B Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 2-3/4 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208783B is a hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications across a range of industrial, commercial, and trade uses. It carries a 1/2-13 UNC thread size and measures 2-3/4 inches under the head, with partial threading along the shank. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with no additional coating, this fastener resists corrosion in moist or mildly corrosive environments. It suits installers and technicians working on equipment frames, brackets, flanges, and structural connections where stainless fasteners are specified. Plumbers, HVAC mechanics, electricians, and general contractors rely on this screw type for both new installations and service work.

This hex head cap screw is suited for inch-system assemblies requiring a coarse UNC thread pattern. The partially threaded shank provides clamping force across unthreaded material, making it appropriate for bolted joint connections where the shank bears shear load. Common applications include mechanical room equipment mounting, pipe hanger hardware, electrical enclosure assembly, and structural panel fastening. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• 2-3/4 inch length under head for mid-length fastening reach
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• Partially threaded shank transfers shear loads across unthreaded grip zone
• Uncoated finish — no risk of coating interference in close-tolerance applications
• Hex drive head accepts standard hex wrenches and socket sets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system hex head cap screw for use with 1/2-13 UNC nuts, hex couplings, and tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or structural assemblies requiring 18-8 stainless fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 1/2-inch fastener. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening components on or near live assemblies. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when joining stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque requirements based on joint design.
