Value Collection 97104 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 1 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97104 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. Sized at 1/2-13 x 1 inch, it uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and meets the ASME B18.2.1 standard for inch-series hex cap screws. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel, it offers a tensile strength appropriate for medium-duty clamping and bolted connections. The uncoated finish means no additional plating or treatment is applied, making it suitable for applications where base steel is acceptable or where a custom coating will be added post-installation. This fastener is installed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general tradespeople across a wide range of industries.

This cap screw is well suited for use in equipment frames, brackets, flanges, and mechanical assemblies that require a standard inch-series fastener. The 1/2-13 thread size is one of the most common in trade and industrial settings, making this part a practical stock item for maintenance, repair, and original equipment builds. It is sold in a package quantity of 50 units, supporting both small repairs and higher-volume production needs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench, socket, or open-end wrench sized for a 1/2-13 hex cap screw. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply thread lubricant or thread-locking compound as required by the application and applicable engineering specifications. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant design standard for Grade 5 fasteners at this diameter and thread pitch.
