Value Collection 701196PR Button Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 701196PR is a button socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a low-profile head with reliable clamping strength. The screw features a 1/2-13 UNC thread and measures 7/8 inches under the head, with a 5/16-inch hex socket drive. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers corrosion resistance and a hardness rating of 36-43 HRC. The thread fit is Class 3A with right-hand direction, and the screw is fully threaded. It meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards, making it suitable for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening work.

This button socket cap screw is used in applications where a rounded, low-profile head is needed to clear adjacent components or reduce snagging. It is commonly installed in machinery, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies across industrial and commercial environments. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance for indoor or protected outdoor use. Machinists, millwrights, and general maintenance professionals typically install this fastener in production and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Button head profile for low-clearance and flush-mount applications
• 1/2-13 UNC fully threaded, Class 3A fit for precise engagement
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex key or socket tooling
• Alloy steel construction with 36-43 HRC hardness for high clamping load capacity
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/2-13 UNC button socket cap screw with a 7/8-inch grip length and 5/16-inch hex drive, per ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 5/16-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque range appropriate for the thread size and material; consult applicable fastener standards for torque guidance. Apply thread locking compound or appropriate fastener preload practices as required by the assembly specification.
