Value Collection R57001073 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001073 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw features a 1/2-13 UNC thread and a 3-1/4 inch length under the head. Drive engagement is via a 3/8 inch hex socket, making it compatible with standard socket drivers and Allen-style tooling. This fastener suits industrial, mechanical, and plumbing-adjacent assemblies where stainless steel construction is specified to resist moisture and chemical exposure.

This cap screw is well suited for mechanical assemblies in wet or corrosive environments, including HVAC equipment mounting, pump housings, pipe flanges, and general structural fastening. The 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread provides strong engagement in standard tapped holes and is widely used in equipment manufactured to inch-standard specifications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance mechanics working on commercial and residential mechanical systems will find this fastener meets common installation requirements.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments

• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows visual inspection of thread condition

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application calling for an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using a properly sized 3/8 inch hex socket driver or Allen key to avoid rounding the drive recess. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound if the fastener will be exposed to high heat or dissimilar metals. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque requirements based on joint design.
