Value Collection HCI20500100-050BX Hex Head Bolt 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI20500100-050BX is a Grade 2 steel hex head bolt with a 1/2-13 UNC thread and a 1-inch length under head. It is fully threaded from head to tip, meets ASTM A307 fastener standards, and ships in a minimum order quantity of 50 units. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose fastening applications where corrosion protection is not required. This bolt is a common hardware item installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors in a wide range of mechanical and structural assemblies.

This hex head bolt is suited for low-carbon steel fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction, mechanical equipment mounting, and trade rough-in work. The 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread engages standard hardware quickly and resists cross-threading in field conditions. Grade 2 hardware is appropriate for general-duty fastening where the higher tensile strength of Grade 5 or Grade 8 is not required. These bolts are typically paired with standard 1/2-13 hex nuts and flat washers.

Key Features

• Fully threaded along the entire 1-inch shank length under head
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 fastener standard
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating to affect thread fit
• Sold in multiples of 50 units for trade-quantity stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers in general mechanical and structural fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 3/4-inch wrench or socket driver appropriate for a 1/2-inch hex bolt. Confirm mating nut and thread class match before installation to avoid galling or cross-threading. Grade 2 bolts should not be substituted in structural or high-load joints that specify Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener grade requirements on the specific assembly.
