Value Collection 872363PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872363PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, high-strength fastener in a compact head profile. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC with a 2-inch length under head and fully threaded shank, this screw is driven with a 3/8-inch hex (Allen) key. It is manufactured from alloy steel and finished with a zinc-plated coating for corrosion resistance. This fastener meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and structural connections across industrial and trade environments.

This socket cap screw is suited for general mechanical and industrial assembly work where a low-profile, high-strength fastener is required. The fully threaded 1/2-13 UNC configuration allows consistent thread engagement throughout the entire shank length. Typical applications include machine frames, fixtures, brackets, and equipment enclosures. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and fabricators across manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, and plumbing skid fabrication.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size for wide compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head with fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 3/8-inch hex drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit sockets
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion protection in indoor and light-duty environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.8 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/8-inch hex key or Allen-style bit socket. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and properly tapped to 1/2-13 UNC before installation. Power down and de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live machinery. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for 1/2-inch alloy steel fasteners.
