Value Collection R56000208 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000208 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. This fastener features a 1/2-13 UNC thread profile and measures 5.5 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, it provides superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and marine or chemical environments compared to standard 304-grade hardware. The uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and is suited for applications where plating or coating would compromise fit or chemical compatibility. Tradespeople and maintenance mechanics rely on this specification for demanding industrial, plumbing, and structural connections.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in marine, chemical processing, food service, and outdoor structural applications where corrosion is a primary service concern. Grade 316 stainless steel is commonly specified in coastal and high-humidity environments, as well as in plumbing and HVAC mechanical assemblies exposed to moisture or process fluids. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full grip length, making it well suited for through-bolting or applications requiring consistent clamping force along the entire fastener length.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced chloride and corrosion resistance
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the entire length
• 1/2-13 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-system hardware
• Uncoated finish preserves dimensional tolerances and suits chemically sensitive environments
• Hex head drive style for use with standard wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system hex head cap screw for use with 1/2-13 UNC nuts, inserts, and tapped holes in industrial, plumbing, HVAC, and structural assemblies requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with fastener specifications and torque requirements for stainless steel hardware. Power down or isolate the system before fastening into live assemblies. Use appropriate hand tools or calibrated torque wrenches rated for the fastener diameter and material; stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven too aggressively with power tools without lubrication. Apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or dissimilar metal tapped holes to prevent seizing and facilitate future removal.
