Value Collection R56000216 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000216 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized at 1/2-13 x 8 inches, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with no additional finish coating. The 1/2-13 designation identifies a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread profile at 1/2-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure, making this fastener a practical choice for marine, chemical, and outdoor applications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals install these where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

This cap screw is suited for structural and mechanical assemblies in environments with high moisture, salt spray, or chemical exposure. Typical applications include marine hardware installations, pool and water treatment equipment, HVAC structural mounting in coastal environments, plumbing system assemblies, and general industrial maintenance. The fully threaded 8-inch shaft engages the full grip length, providing consistent clamping force across thicker stacked materials or deep threaded bores.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chloride-rich environments
• Fully threaded along the 8-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 1/2-13 UNC thread profile for wide compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without plating buildup on thread flanks
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and impact sockets

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series hex nuts, washers, and tapped components per ASME B18.2.1 hex head cap screw standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified maintenance personnel using standard hex wrenches or impact drivers with the appropriate socket size. Always verify that the mating nut or tapped hole material is compatible with Grade 316 stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion when dissimilar metals are joined. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless fasteners to prevent galling during installation and removal. De-energize or lock out any equipment before fastening into live assemblies.
