Value Collection 50240CH2 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13x15

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 50240CH2 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw sized at 1/2-13 x 15 inches, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It follows a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 specifications. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. At 0.838 pounds per unit, this is a substantial fastener suited for structural and mechanical assemblies where a longer grip length is required. Licensed contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This fastener is used in general mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment fabrication where a 1/2-13 UNC thread pattern and a 15-inch length under the head are specified. The partial threading allows for a smooth shank section, which is useful in applications requiring a precise grip length or where the bolt passes through clearance holes before engaging a nut or threaded receiver. Typical install scenarios include heavy equipment mounting, frame fabrication, and maintenance repairs in commercial or industrial settings.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size with 15-inch length under head for extended reach applications
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth grip section for precise load distribution
• Grade 2 steel construction meets SAE J429 material requirements
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty outdoor use
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screw for use with matching 1/2-13 nuts and threaded components in general mechanical and structural assemblies conforming to inch-series fastener specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician familiar with fastener torque requirements for Grade 2 steel hardware. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or a recognized fastener reference for 1/2-13 Grade 2 hardware. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use fasteners with stripped or corroded threads.
