Value Collection 93341 Carriage Bolt 1/2-13 5in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93341 is a 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolt with a 5-inch length under head and a square neck designed to resist rotation during installation without requiring a wrench on the bolt head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and light chemical environments. The dome-shaped head and square neck seat flush against wood, composite, and soft metal substrates. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, pool service professionals, and general tradespeople use carriage bolts like this one when a clean, low-profile fastener head is required in exposed assemblies.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications including equipment mounting, framing connections, handrail and railing assemblies, equipment support brackets, and structural panel attachments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for pool equipment enclosures, outdoor mechanical platforms, and humid mechanical rooms where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for broad hardware and nut compatibility
• 5-inch length under head suits thick substrate or stacked assembly applications
• Square neck prevents bolt rotation without tooling on the head during nut tightening
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip or flake under torque
• Inch system of measurement; UNC thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolt for use with any compatible 1/2-13 hex nut or coupling nut in inch-standard fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by any trade requiring structural or equipment-mounting fasteners. Pull the square neck fully into the substrate before applying torque to the nut to prevent bolt spin and substrate damage. Use a properly sized 1/2-13 nut and flat washer on the threaded end; do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as the alloy is susceptible to galling without proper lubrication or anti-seize compound. Follow applicable building codes or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when used in structural connections.
