Value Collection R40684489 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40684489 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It features a 7/8-inch length under head and accepts a 3/8-inch hex drive key. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance in general industrial and mechanical applications. This fastener is designed for use where a recessed hex drive allows flush or near-flush seating in a counterbored hole. Mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and fabricators typically specify this type of cap screw when corrosion resistance and a clean head profile are required.

This hex socket cap screw suits a wide range of applications including equipment assembly, structural connections, machine frames, and enclosure fabrication. The 1/2-13 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread designation common in North American mechanical and industrial assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes it suitable for environments with moderate moisture or chemical exposure. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for standard North American mechanical assemblies
• 7/8-inch length under head for precise grip depth in typical fastening applications
• 3/8-inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys and socket drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Recessed hex socket head allows counterbored or flush installation where clearance is limited

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical and industrial fastening applications requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener with a 3/8-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/8-inch hex key or hex socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless steel fasteners to reduce the risk of galling during tightening. Follow applicable mechanical or structural specifications for the assembly being serviced.
