Value Collection -32165-2 Carriage Bolt 1/2-13 1-1/2in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -32165-2 is a Grade 5 steel carriage bolt with a 1/2-13 UNC thread and a 1-1/2 inch length under head. The square neck seats firmly beneath a domed head to prevent rotation during installation, eliminating the need for a wrench on the bolt side. A zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and outdoor applications. This fastener is suited for wood-to-wood, wood-to-metal, and structural assembly work common in construction, equipment fabrication, and maintenance tasks performed by trade professionals.

This carriage bolt is used in residential and light commercial construction, equipment mounting, and structural framing applications. The 1/2-13 UNC thread mates with standard hex nuts and coupling nuts readily available in the field. Its Grade 5 rating confirms a tensile strength appropriate for moderate-load structural connections. Minimum order quantity is 50 units, making it well suited for job-site stocking or contractor supply orders.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for typical through-bolt applications in framing and equipment mounting
• Square neck locks bolt against rotation during nut tightening without requiring a second wrench
• Grade 5 steel construction meets medium-strength fastener requirements
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series carriage bolt for use with 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts, washers, and coupling nuts in general construction and structural assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, ironworkers, or general contractors using a standard wrench or socket on the nut side. Pull the bolt through the material so the square neck seats fully into the substrate before torquing the nut. Verify material thickness accommodates the 1-1/2 inch shank length without bottoming out. Follow applicable structural or building codes for fastener spacing and load requirements.
