Value Collection A997217 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 2.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997217 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized 1/2-13 x 2.5 inches, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The 1/2-13 designation indicates a half-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. Full threading along the entire shank length provides maximum engagement in blind holes and allows the fastener to be used at any insertion depth. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers solid corrosion resistance for general industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. Each package contains 10 screws. Licensed mechanics, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians regularly reach for this fastener when securing equipment panels, flanges, brackets, and support structures.

This hex head cap screw is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where mild corrosion resistance is required. Common install scenarios include mechanical room equipment mounting, HVAC unit panel fastening, plumbing flange assembly, electrical enclosure hardware, and general structural assembly. The standard hex drive pattern accepts any 3/4-inch wrench or socket, making it compatible with standard hand and power tools found in every trade toolbox. The UNC thread form is widely compatible with standard nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes across residential and light commercial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/4-inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. Verify the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners as the material is susceptible to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torque and service conditions allow. Follow applicable mechanical, structural, or trade codes for the specific assembly being fastened.
