Value Collection 3GBM908C0208 Hex Head Bolt 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBM908C0208 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex head bolt designed for general structural and mechanical fastening applications. The bolt measures 2.5 inches under the head and features a 0.75-inch hex drive. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and exposed environments. The partially threaded shank helps maintain clamping force in bolted joint assemblies. This fastener meets ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standards, making it a recognized choice for code-referenced work in construction and industrial maintenance.

This bolt is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment mounting, structural steel connections, plumbing support brackets, electrical enclosure assembly, and general mechanical fabrication. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exterior installations, treated lumber contact, and other corrosive environments where bare steel fasteners would degrade prematurely. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors working on both residential and light commercial projects.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 0.75-inch socket or open-end wrench. Always use a properly rated 1/2-13 nut and appropriate washer for the joint material. Torque to the values specified in the applicable project or equipment documentation. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation in corrosive environments, and do not cut or grind threads without re-treating the exposed steel.
