Value Collection 63548 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63548 is a hex socket cap screw designed for use in mechanical assembly, maintenance, and fabrication applications. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread with 2 inches of length under the head and is driven by a 3/8 inch hex (Allen) key. Constructed from grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener offers strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or salt air. It is installed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople who require a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded fastener in structural or equipment assembly work.

This screw is well suited for marine, food service, chemical processing, and outdoor industrial environments where 316 stainless steel is specified for its superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304 alloys. It performs in both light structural connections and equipment mounting applications requiring a flush or low-profile head with high clamping force. The coarse 1/2-13 UNC thread provides reliable engagement in standard tapped holes and threaded inserts across a wide range of base materials.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 2 inches length under head provides substantial clamping depth for thicker assemblies
• 3/8 inch hex socket drive allows use of standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Socket cap head profile delivers high torque capacity in confined or recessed spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a coarse-thread, 316 stainless steel fastener with a 2 inch grip length and 3/8 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/8 inch hex key or Allen bit driver rated for the torque required by the application. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware in live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Apply anti-seize compound where recommended by equipment manufacturer specifications to prevent galling in stainless steel threads. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment service documentation for proper torque procedures.
