Value Collection D30114 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION D30114 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for inch-series hex cap screws. The 1/2-13 thread size follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard, and the screw measures 3.5 inches under the head. The zinc plating provides a base level of corrosion resistance suited to indoor and light-duty applications. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades rely on Grade 5 fasteners like this for structural and equipment mounting tasks where medium-strength hardware is required.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial equipment assembly, mechanical panel mounting, structural bracketing, and general trade service work. It is suited for applications where a standard UNC 1/2-13 partially threaded bolt is called out. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in clearance-hole applications, making it a practical choice for bolted joints that see both tensile and lateral forces.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction for medium-strength fastening requirements
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Partial threading allows unthreaded shank to handle shear loads in clearance holes
• UNC 1/2-13 thread form for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex cap screws
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets for reliable torque application

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw for use with any 1/2-13 threaded nut, insert, or tapped hole meeting ASME B18.2.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is appropriate for any qualified trade professional performing mechanical assembly or equipment mounting. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before fastening or removing hardware on electrical or mechanical systems. Use a properly sized socket or wrench to avoid rounding the hex head. Consult applicable mechanical or building codes for required torque values and fastener grades specific to the installation.
