Value Collection R57001252 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 14 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001252 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw sized at 1/2-13 x 14 inches, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no additional finish coating. The 1/2-13 designation identifies a half-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. The 14-inch length is measured under the head. This fastener is used in structural and mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is required. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers. The 18-8 stainless steel grade offers good resistance to oxidation and mild corrosive environments without the need for a protective coating.

This cap screw is suited for use in commercial and industrial applications where a long-reach, partially threaded hex bolt is required. Partial threading leaves a smooth shank below the head, which is useful when clamping through clearance holes or when shear strength through the grip length matters. Typical installation scenarios include equipment mounting, structural connections, and machinery assembly in environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard inch-series hex nuts and threaded holes.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread form compatible with standard inch-series hardware
• 14-inch length under head for long-reach fastening applications
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth grip section for shear-load applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moisture-exposed environments
• Uncoated finish — no plating or treatment that could introduce dimensional variation on threads
• Sold individually (quantity of 1 per package)

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts, washers, and threaded components conforming to inch-series fastener standards. No specific OEM equipment compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 1/2-inch hex head cap screw. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement or assembly work, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Torque to the specification required by the assembly drawing or applicable structural standard — do not use generic torque values, as joint material and application dictate the correct value. Apply an anti-seize compound if installing into a tapped hole where stainless-on-stainless galling is a concern.
