Value Collection 63882 Flat Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63882 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where a flush or countersunk head profile is required. It features an 82-degree flat head with a 5/16-inch hex socket drive, allowing installation with a standard Allen wrench or hex key. The screw is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides good corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive and general-purpose environments. With a 1/2-13 UNC thread and an overall length of 1 inch, this fastener suits medium-load structural and mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, equipment enclosures, and general fabrication where a low-profile flush head is needed. The UNC thread pattern is the standard inch-series coarse thread, making it compatible with the most common tapped holes in North American manufacturing and maintenance environments. It is appropriate for both original assembly and replacement applications in shops, plants, and field maintenance settings. The 18-8 stainless construction makes it a practical choice where mild moisture exposure or chemical contact is a concern.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes for a low-profile finish
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a hex key or Allen driver
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers solid corrosion resistance for general-purpose use
• 1/2-13 UNC thread is the standard coarse inch-series pitch, widely compatible with tapped holes
• 1-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening in plate, bracket, and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw compatible with any tapped or through-hole application calling for a 1/2-13 UNC thread and an 82-degree countersunk head profile.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or Allen-drive bit sized to 5/16 inch. Ensure the mating countersink is machined to an 82-degree included angle to achieve proper head seating and load distribution. De-burr and clean tapped holes before installation to avoid galling on stainless threads. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling and seizing without appropriate anti-seize compound.
