Value Collection 97122 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 7 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97122 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener measures 1/2-13 thread size with a 7-inch length under head. The UNC thread form conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for structural and machinery assemblies that require controlled thread engagement and consistent clamping force. Typical installers include maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and tradespeople working on equipment fabrication, structural framing, or mechanical assemblies requiring a medium-strength hex fastener.

This screw is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where 1/2-13 UNC thread engagement is specified. The partial threading allows a smooth shank section that resists shear loads along the grip length, which is useful in bolted joint applications where the shank spans a clearance hole or two mating members. Sold in packages of 25, it supports both single-job use and small-lot stocking needs.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread form for broad tool and nut compatibility
• 7-inch length under head accommodates thick stack-ups or deep clearance holes
• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-strength tensile performance
• Partially threaded shank resists shear loads across the grip zone
• Uncoated finish allows post-installation coating or use in dry indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw compatible with 1/2-13 hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers conforming to ASME inch-series fastener standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics or tradespeople using a standard hex wrench, socket, or open-end wrench sized for a 1/2-inch fastener. Ensure mating components are de-energized and secured before tightening. Apply fastener torque in accordance with the equipment manufacturer specifications or applicable structural code requirements. Do not exceed the tensile rating of Grade 5 hardware when substituting for higher-grade fasteners.
