Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000161 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and industrial applications. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread size with a 3-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The hex drive head is compatible with standard wrenches and sockets. This fastener is appropriate for maintenance technicians, contractors, and trade professionals who need a reliable, widely available inch-series fastener for everyday assemblies.

This cap screw is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support structures, and general mechanical assemblies. The fully threaded body allows for consistent clamping force along the entire shank length, making it useful in through-bolted connections and applications requiring engagement at multiple points. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.
