Value Collection 97117 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 4.5 in Grade 5 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97117 is a 1/2-13 x 4-1/2 inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish. Partially threaded along the shank, it follows UNC thread standards and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 specifications. Sold in packs of 25, this fastener is suited for structural and mechanical assembly applications where a standard hex-drive bolt with defined grip length is required. The partially threaded design allows for precise clamping force without thread engagement through the full fastener length, which is important in joint assemblies with defined bearing surfaces.

This cap screw is appropriate for general industrial, mechanical, and construction assembly tasks. It is commonly used in equipment fabrication, frame assembly, and machinery mounting where 1/2-13 UNC threaded holes or nuts are present. The 4-1/2 inch length accommodates thicker material stacks or applications requiring longer reach. Installers working across HVAC equipment mounting, mechanical rooms, structural steel, and general trade maintenance will find this a standard utility fastener for everyday use.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard hex nuts and tapped holes
• 4-1/2 inch length under head provides reach for thick material assemblies
• Grade 5 steel construction meets minimum tensile strength requirements for medium-duty structural use
• Partially threaded shank preserves grip length and prevents thread engagement through clamped material
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards
• Sold in a pack of 25 for job-site or shop inventory use

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded assemblies including tapped holes, hex nuts, and coupling nuts conforming to UNC inch-measurement thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general tradespeople or mechanical assemblers using a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a 1/2-inch fastener. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque range for Grade 5 fasteners as published in applicable torque specification references for the application. Where fasteners are used in structural or load-bearing applications, consult the applicable building or mechanical code for required fastener grades and inspection requirements.
