Value Collection 3GBM908C0600 Hex Bolt 1/2-13 6in Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBM908C0600 is a 1/2-13 hex head bolt designed for general-purpose fastening in structural, mechanical, and construction applications. It measures 6 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and humid environments. The partially threaded shank allows the unthreaded section to act as a bearing surface, resisting shear loads in bolted assemblies. This bolt conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 standards. It is driven with a 3/4-inch hex wrench or socket and is suitable for use across a range of trade and industrial fastening tasks.

This bolt is commonly used in HVAC equipment mounting, structural steel connections, mechanical equipment bases, and general construction assemblies where a corrosion-resistant, standard-grade fastener is required. The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exterior installations, treated lumber connections, and other environments where bare steel would be subject to rust or oxidation. Tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction regularly stock this size for panel mounting, equipment support framing, and utility installations.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 6-inch length under head accommodates thick material stacks and structural members
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance versus electroplated coatings
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface to resist shear loads
• Grade 2 steel meets ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 standards
• 3/4-inch hex drive fits standard sockets and open-end wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 1/2-13 hex head bolt suitable for use with any 1/2-13 UNC-threaded nut or tapped hole requiring a Grade 2 galvanized fastener per ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and ANSI/ASME B18.2.2.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/4-inch socket, box-end wrench, or impact driver fitted with the appropriate socket. Always use a properly rated 1/2-13 UNC nut or verify tapped hole thread specification before installation. Follow applicable structural or mechanical codes when torquing fasteners in load-bearing assemblies, and consult the relevant code or engineer specification for required torque values. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation in corrosive environments.
