Value Collection CAI205001000-050BX Carriage Bolt 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI205001000-050BX is a 1/2-13 carriage bolt with a 1 inch length under head, designed for general-purpose fastening in wood, metal, and structural assemblies. The square neck locks into the mating material to prevent rotation during installation, eliminating the need for a wrench on the bolt head. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener meets ASTM A307 standards and offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light outdoor applications. It is used by carpenters, ironworkers, maintenance technicians, and general contractors across a wide range of construction and equipment-assembly tasks.

This carriage bolt is suited for light- to medium-duty structural connections where a smooth, round head profile is required on the finished face. Common applications include wood-to-wood framing, deck construction, machinery guards, and utility shelving. The 1/2-13 UNC thread pitch is a standard inch-series coarse thread, compatible with 1/2-13 nuts and tapped components found throughout residential and commercial construction. This SKU is sold as a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for job-site stocking or maintenance shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tradespeople and general contractors using standard hand tools. Pull the square neck firmly into the substrate so it seats and locks before applying torque to the nut. Ensure the mating surface material is appropriate for the square-neck seating depth to prevent spinning. Power down or de-energize any adjacent equipment before fastening in mechanical or electrical enclosure applications.
