Value Collection 5036CHAL Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 2024T4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5036CHAL is a hex head cap screw machined from 2024T4 aluminum, designed for structural and mechanical fastening applications where a lightweight, high-strength fastener is required. It features a 1/2-13 thread size with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard and measures 2-1/4 inches under the head. The 3/4-inch hex drive accepts a standard wrench or socket. Aluminum construction reduces weight compared to steel fasteners while offering solid tensile strength for its grade. This fastener is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics across a range of industrial and OEM assembly applications.

This screw is suited for use in applications where corrosion resistance, low weight, and machinability are priorities, such as aerospace assemblies, aluminum structural frames, machinery enclosures, and light industrial equipment. The 2024T4 aluminum grade provides good fatigue resistance and is commonly specified in applications subject to dynamic or cyclic loading. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2-1/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 2024T4 aluminum grade offers good fatigue resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio
• 3/4 inch hex drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets
• Lightweight aluminum construction reduces overall assembly weight compared to steel fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and maintenance replacement hex head cap screw for applications requiring a 1/2-13 UNC inch-series aluminum fastener with a 2-1/4 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, assembly technicians, or maintenance mechanics using a standard 3/4 inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut is rated for use with aluminum fasteners, as overtorquing aluminum hardware can cause thread stripping or fastener failure. Do not use with materials or environments that cause galvanic corrosion when paired with dissimilar metals. Follow applicable industry torque guidelines for 1/2-13 aluminum fasteners.
