Value Collection 97114 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 Grade 5 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97114 is a 1/2-13 x 3-1/2 inch hex head cap screw designed for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with no surface coating, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface along the unthreaded portion, which is useful when a precise grip length is required. Sold in a package of 25, this screw is a practical choice for maintenance, fabrication, and assembly tasks where a reliable medium-strength steel fastener is needed.

This hex head cap screw is suited for a wide range of structural and mechanical assembly applications. The 1/2-13 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common inch-series thread sizes in North American trade work, making it easy to source matching nuts and inserts. Typical uses include equipment mounting, steel-to-steel connections, machine bases, and general fabrication work. The uncoated finish means it is intended for dry indoor environments or applications where a separate corrosion treatment will be applied on-site.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread, partially threaded with a 3-1/2 inch length under head
• Grade 5 steel construction meets medium-strength fastener requirements per ASME B18.2.1
• Uncoated finish for bare steel applications or field-applied coatings
• Hex head drive accepts standard 3/4 inch hex wrenches and impact sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any 1/2-13 threaded nut, tapped hole, or insert conforming to ASME B18.2.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, ironworkers, or general tradespeople using a 3/4 inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Verify that the mating nut or tapped hole thread class matches the fastener before installation. Always follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant structural standards such as AISC or ASME guidelines. Do not use uncoated fasteners in outdoor or corrosive environments without an appropriate protective coating or plating.
