Value Collection HCI20500150-050BX Hex Head Bolt 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI20500150-050BX is a fully threaded hex head bolt designed for general-purpose fastening in structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications. It carries a 1/2-13 UNC thread size with a 1-1/2 inch length measured under the head. The bolt is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright uncoated finish and meets ASTM A307 standards. These bolts are sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 units per box, making them practical for job-site stock or shop inventory. Licensed tradespeople and contractors working on light structural assemblies, equipment mounting, and general mechanical work will find this a dependable, code-recognized fastener choice.

These bolts are suited for residential and light commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support structures, electrical panel bracing, and general mechanical assembly. ASTM A307 grade designation makes them appropriate for low-carbon steel bolting in structural applications where high-strength grades are not required. They are commonly used wherever a standard UNC 1/2-13 hex bolt is specified and full thread engagement along the grip length is needed.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank — 1-1/2 inch length under head with thread engagement along the full length
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 fastener standard
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for dry indoor environments and painted assemblies
• Sold in a box of 50 — practical for trade stock and repetitive-installation projects

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head bolt compatible with any 1/2-13 UNC nut, coupling nut, or tapped hole conforming to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex bolts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using standard hex wrenches, sockets, or impact drivers sized for a 3/4 inch hex head. Verify that the mating nut or tapped hole is also rated for the intended load before torquing. ASTM A307 bolts are not suitable as direct replacements where high-strength ASTM A325 or A490 fasteners are specified. Always consult applicable building codes or equipment manufacturer torque tables — do not use generic torque values for structural connections.
