Value Collection 3TBT908C0500 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TBT908C0500 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in the 1/2-13 UNC thread size with a 5-inch length under head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and marine environments. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode or degrade. Licensed trades — including plumbers, HVAC techs, and electrical contractors — regularly specify 316 stainless fasteners in corrosive service locations such as rooftop equipment, chemical plants, and coastal installations.

This screw is appropriate for use in both light commercial and industrial applications where a coarse-thread UNC fastener is required. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full 5-inch length, making it effective for through-bolting or when threading into deep tapped holes. It is sold individually, though a minimum order quantity of 5 units applies. The uncoated surface retains the natural 316 stainless appearance and is compatible with stainless or other corrosion-resistant hardware in the same assembly.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• Fully threaded along the entire 5-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread standard for broad tooling and nut compatibility
• Uncoated finish preserves natural stainless surface with no additional plating or treatment
• Inch measurement system with length measured under the head per standard fastener convention

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screw for use with compatible 1/2-13 nuts, washers, and tapped holes in inch-system assemblies requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket in the appropriate drive size for a 1/2-inch bolt head. Power down or de-energize any adjacent equipment before working in tight enclosures or panel areas. Use stainless steel nuts and washers to prevent galvanic corrosion at the joint. Anti-seize compound is commonly applied to stainless threads to prevent galling during tightening.
