Value Collection 97118 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 5 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97118 is a 1/2-13 x 5 inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish. Designed for standard UNC thread applications, this fastener features partial threading along the shank, conforming to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The 1/2-13 thread designation indicates a half-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch. This screw is a general-purpose industrial fastener suited for structural and mechanical assembly work where Grade 5 tensile strength is specified. Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This hex head cap screw is used in general mechanical and structural assembly applications requiring UNC-threaded fasteners with a 1/2-13 thread form. The 5-inch length under head accommodates thicker assemblies or applications requiring extended grip length. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface for joint clamping in bolted connections. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this SKU suits maintenance crews and shop environments that need reliable fastener stock on hand.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread form with 5-inch length under head for deep or thick-section assemblies
• Grade 5 steel construction provides mid-range tensile strength suitable for structural fastening
• Partially threaded shank offers a bearing surface for improved joint clamping performance
• Uncoated finish — inspect application environment for corrosion compatibility before installation
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 hex cap screw dimensional standard
• Package quantity of 25 per SKU for stocking efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screw per ASME B18.2.1, suitable for use with any 1/2-13 tapped hole or nut in assemblies specifying Grade 5 fastener strength.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a standard hex socket, wrench, or impact driver sized for a 1/2-inch hex fastener. Torque to the assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer or applicable structural design standard — do not substitute a torque value not specified in the job documentation. Confirm thread engagement depth and joint material compatibility before final assembly. Because this fastener is uncoated steel, evaluate the service environment for moisture or chemical exposure that could lead to corrosion.
