Value Collection 3252 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 5 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3252 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and industrial installations. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC thread with a 5-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left in a bright, uncoated finish. The 18-8 grade provides solid corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments, making it a practical choice where carbon steel fasteners would degrade. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians reach for this type of fastener when connecting flanges, mounting brackets, or securing equipment panels that require a corrosion-resistant threaded connection.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, electrical panel supports, and general mechanical assembly. The fully threaded shank runs the full 5-inch length under the head, allowing maximum thread engagement across the full grip range. This makes it especially useful in situations where variable stack heights or thin materials require threading near the head of the fastener. No specific OEM compatibility or model fitment is stated for this part.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement across the full fastener length
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically exposed environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows visual inspection of the fastener condition
• Hex head drive style accepts standard hex wrenches and socket sets used in trade installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 1/2-13 UNC tapped hole or standard hex nut in residential and commercial mechanical, plumbing, or HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using standard hex wrenches or socket drive tools. Power down or de-energize any equipment and relieve system pressure before removing or replacing fasteners on active systems. Follow applicable code requirements including IFGC, IPC, or NEC as relevant to the equipment being serviced. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in direct contact where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
