Value Collection R57001160 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001160 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in 1/2-13 UNC thread with a 1/2-inch length under head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposure, and general industrial environments. The UNC thread form ensures compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople specify 18-8 stainless hardware where mild corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties are required without stepping up to 316-grade material.

This screw is used across a wide range of commercial and residential trade applications including equipment mounting, pipe support brackets, access panel fastening, and general mechanical assembly. Its fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the entire length under head, making it well suited for thin material joints and close-tolerance assemblies where partial threading would leave a smooth shank gap. The 1/2-13 UNC thread is one of the most common heavy-fastener sizes in trade work and fits a broad range of standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and tapped fixtures.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement from bearing face to thread end
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form — standard inch coarse-thread series, compatible with common hex nuts and tapped holes
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or add dimensional variance
• Hex head drive accepts standard 3/4-inch hex wrench or socket

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series hex nuts, coupling nuts, and tapped holes in general mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/4-inch hex socket, combination wrench, or adjustable wrench. Power down, de-energize, or isolate any equipment before fastener replacement on live systems. Apply a compatible anti-seize compound when joining stainless fasteners to stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the joint class and material being fastened.
