Value Collection 33432 Low Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 1-1/2 in 25 Pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33432 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a reduced head profile is required without sacrificing clamping strength. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread in a fully threaded configuration, with a body length of 1-1/2 inches measured under the head. The hex socket drive accepts a 1/4-inch hex key. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers improved corrosion resistance compared to plain steel and is suited for mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and industrial equipment installations. Each package contains 25 screws.

This screw is well suited for use in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing environments where low-clearance head height is necessary. Common applications include machine tool fixtures, jigs, dies, and structural assemblies where a standard socket head cap screw would protrude too far. Licensed tradespeople and machine builders working with inch-series fasteners to ASME/ANSI B18.8 standards will find this screw a direct-fit option for existing UNC-tapped holes in steel and aluminum components.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces protrusion in tight-clearance assemblies
• Fully threaded 1/2-13 UNC configuration for maximum thread engagement
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and bit sets
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding mechanical applications
• Black oxide finish adds surface corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.8 fastener standard
• Sold in a 25-piece package with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for 1/2-13 UNC tapped holes in inch-series mechanical assemblies conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.8 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/4-inch hex key or T-handle driver; verify the drive tool is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Always select fastener length based on the required thread engagement depth in the parent material. Follow applicable industry standards for fastener torque and joint design when used in structural or load-bearing applications.
