Value Collection 5018CH2 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5018CH2 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly applications. It carries a 1/2-13 UNC thread specification and measures 1-1/8 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderate-exposure environments. Conformance to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 ensures dimensional and mechanical consistency. Installed with a standard hex wrench or socket, this fastener is a staple for maintenance techs, millwrights, and general contractors working across a broad range of assemblies.

This screw is well suited for light to moderate load fastening in equipment frames, brackets, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication work. The fully threaded shank allows maximum thread engagement across the full length, making it especially useful in through-bolt and short-grip applications. The zinc plating provides a serviceable barrier against oxidation in typical shop and field conditions. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any 1/2-13 tapped hole or nut conforming to inch-series thread standards. Suitable for general equipment assembly, bracket mounting, and structural fastening applications requiring a Grade 2 steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 1/2-inch hex head cap screw. Always ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not apply thread-locking compounds unless confirmed compatible with zinc-plated finishes. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or recognized fastener standards for Grade 2 hardware.
