Value Collection 3GBC908C0200 Carriage Bolt 1/2-13 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBC908C0200 is a 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolt with a 2-inch length under head, designed for structural and general fastening applications across construction, fabrication, and maintenance trades. The bolt features a fully threaded shank and a square neck that locks into wood or fabricated panels to prevent rotation during installation. Manufactured from 1006/1050 steel with a galvanized zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suited for both indoor and outdoor environments. This fastener conforms to ASME B18.5, making it a reliable choice for applications that require standardized dimensional compliance.

This carriage bolt is used in wood-to-wood, wood-to-metal, and light structural assemblies where a smooth dome head is required on the visible face. Common applications include decking, framing, playground equipment, agricultural structures, and general maintenance work. The galvanized finish extends service life in exterior or high-humidity environments. Installers in construction, carpentry, and general contracting trades regularly specify this size for connections requiring a flush-bearing surface without a separate washer under the head.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread with fully threaded shank for maximum engagement length
• Square neck prevents rotation in wood and soft substrates without a wrench on the head
• Galvanized zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior and high-humidity use
• Meets ASME B18.5 dimensional standards for consistent fit and interchangeability
• 1006/1050 steel construction balances strength and formability for general fastening duty

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.5 inch-series carriage bolt compatible with any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC fully threaded carriage bolt with a 2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

A licensed carpenter, ironworker, or general contractor typically installs carriage bolts as part of structural or semi-structural assemblies. Drill a hole sized to the bolt shank diameter so the square neck seats flush and does not spin. Apply a flat washer and nut on the through side and tighten with a wrench or impact driver to the appropriate torque for the material and joint design per project specifications. Do not over-drive the square neck into material that cannot support lateral bearing loads, as this may cause the neck to strip and allow rotation.
