Value Collection 92085 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92085 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive interface and reliable clamping force. Threaded to a 1/2-13 UNC specification, this screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and accepts a 3/8 inch hex key drive. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet, humid, or chemically active environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals use this type of fastener across industrial, mechanical, and plumbing assembly work.

This screw is well suited for structural and mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener head is required. The 1/2-13 UNC thread pitch is a standard coarse-thread configuration, making it broadly compatible with tapped holes and threaded inserts machined to that standard. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, enclosure assembly, pipe flange hardware, and mechanical panel fabrication in both commercial and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1 inch length under head for controlled clamping depth
• 3/8 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and socket drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Socket cap head style allows use in confined or recessed spaces where a wrench cannot reach

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application or assembly with a correspondingly tapped hole or threaded insert machined to the 1/2-13 UNC coarse-thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/8 inch hex key or appropriately sized socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is a particular concern with stainless steel fasteners. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to seizing; applying an anti-galling compound is recommended in metal-to-metal assemblies. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before performing fastener service on live assemblies.
