Value Collection R56000214 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 7 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000214 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for demanding fastening applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC thread with a 7-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, which provides superior resistance to chlorides, salt spray, and chemical exposure compared to standard 304-grade material. The uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion-resistant properties of the alloy. It weighs approximately 0.4 pounds. Mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working in marine, chemical, food processing, or outdoor environments rely on this grade of fastener for structural and mechanical assemblies.

This cap screw is well suited for use in environments where exposure to moisture, saltwater, or corrosive chemicals is a regular concern. Typical applications include marine hardware, process piping flanges, pump assemblies, pool and water treatment equipment, and outdoor structural connections. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire fastener length, making it a preferred choice when threading into blind holes or when maximum thread engagement is required through thicker stock.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the entire 7-inch length under head
• 1/2-13 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-measurement hardware
• Uncoated finish maintains base material properties with no added coating to chip or delaminate
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches, sockets, and impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement fastener for applications requiring 1/2-13 UNC fully threaded hex head cap screws in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or pipefitter familiar with proper fastener torque procedures for stainless steel hardware. Stainless steel fasteners are prone to galling under dry conditions — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to threads before assembly to prevent thread seizure. Always use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the applicable engineering or equipment manufacturer specifications for the joint being assembled. Ensure the mating threaded component is also rated for compatibility with Grade 316 stainless steel to avoid galvanic corrosion concerns.
