Value Collection R57001249 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The Value Collection R57001249 is a hex head cap screw sized 1/2-13 by 8-1/2 inches, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no surface coating applied. It uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and is partially threaded along the shank length, which is measured from under the head. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides solid corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. This fastener is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 10 units. It weighs approximately 0.8 pounds per unit.

This cap screw is suited for structural and mechanical assembly work where corrosion resistance and a standard hex drive are required. Typical applications include HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, electrical enclosure assembly, pool equipment installation, and general industrial fabrication. The partial thread design allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads, making it a practical choice for bolted joints where alignment and load distribution matter. Licensed tradespeople working in corrosive or outdoor environments commonly specify 18-8 stainless fasteners for long-term durability.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Partially threaded shank supports shear load applications and improved joint alignment
• UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• Uncoated finish eliminates concerns about coating compatibility with mating hardware
• Hex head drive accepts standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches
• Length measured under the head for accurate fastener selection and installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series nuts and tapped components in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, pipefitters, electricians, or HVAC technicians using standard hex wrenches or sockets. Always de-energize or depressurize any system before replacing or installing fasteners on live equipment. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when fastening into dissimilar metals to prevent galling on stainless threads. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the specific joint being assembled.
