Value Collection -32165-3 Carriage Bolt 1/2-13 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -32165-3 is a 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolt with a 2-1/2 inch length under head and a square neck bearing surface. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener is designed for through-bolting applications where a flush, non-rotating head is required. The square neck seats into mating material during installation, preventing the bolt from spinning as the nut is tightened. At 0.159 pounds per unit, it is suited for structural assembly, equipment mounting, and general fabrication work encountered by contractors, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals.

This carriage bolt is used in light structural and mechanical assembly applications. Its UNC thread form and inch-measurement system make it compatible with standard American fastener tooling. Typical install scenarios include securing brackets, frames, conveyor components, and wooden or metal sub-assemblies where a smooth, domed head finish is specified. The zinc coating provides baseline corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for use with standard American inch-series nuts and hardware
• 2-1/2 inch length under head — measurement excludes the head per inch fastener standards
• Square neck below head prevents rotation during nut-tightening without a wrench on the bolt
• Grade 5 steel construction meets medium-strength fastener requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in sheltered or indoor service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series carriage bolt suitable for use with any matching 1/2-13 hex nut and standard American flat or lock washers in wood, metal, or composite through-bolt applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, ironworkers, or general contractors using standard hand or impact tools. Always power down or de-energize any adjacent equipment before fastening in mechanical assemblies. Insert the bolt through a pre-drilled clearance hole sized to allow the square neck to seat flush and resist rotation, then tighten the mating nut to the specification required by the assembly drawing or applicable code. Minimum order quantity is 50 units.
