Value Collection R63008162 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63008162 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require corrosion-resistant hardware. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC threading with a 1.5-inch length under the head, this screw is driven with a 3/8-inch hex key. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, a grade known for its elevated resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304-grade material. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in marine, chemical processing, or food-service environments commonly specify 316 stainless fasteners for this reason.

This screw is suited for general industrial and mechanical assembly where a high-strength, corrosion-resistant socket cap fastener is required. The hex socket drive allows torque application in confined spaces where a wrench cannot swing freely. Typical installations include equipment frames, brackets, pipe supports, and machine guards across light and heavy industrial settings.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread tapped holes
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive allows use in tight clearance areas
• 1.5-inch length under head suits moderate grip-length fastening requirements
• Socket cap head style provides a low-profile, clean appearance after installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC coarse-thread fastener with a 1.5-inch grip length and 3/8-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using a calibrated 3/8-inch hex key or Allen-head socket driver. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when threading stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Do not impact-drive stainless socket cap screws without a proper impact-rated hex bit, as the socket can round out under shock loading.
