Value Collection R40684224 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40684224 is a hex socket cap screw designed for threaded fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. With a 1/2-13 UNC thread size and a 2.25-inch length under the head, this screw is driven by a 3/8-inch hex (Allen) key. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides solid resistance to rust and oxidation in wet or chemically active environments. It is used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and general industrial trades wherever a socket-drive cap screw is specified.

This screw is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly work where a low-profile socket head is required in confined or recessed mounting areas. The 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread pattern threads quickly and holds well in standard tapped holes. Typical applications include equipment frames, brackets, flanges, and mechanical housings across a range of industries. The stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in food-service, marine-adjacent, and outdoor equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 2.25-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening requirements
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive for use with Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any application specifying that thread size and a 2.25-inch under-head length in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/8-inch hex key or Allen bit driver; ensure the drive tool is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Verify the receiving tapped hole is clean and cut to 1/2-13 UNC before installation. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as appropriate for the service environment, particularly in stainless-to-stainless assemblies where galling is a risk. De-energize or shut down any equipment before performing fastener service on live machinery.
