Value Collection R63008243 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63008243 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. Featuring a 1/2-13 UNC thread size and a 2.5-inch length under head, this screw accepts a 3/8-inch hex drive for installation with an Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it provides strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, chemical, and outdoor environments. Licensed tradespeople, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this fastener type where a low-profile, flush-socket head is required and standard hex bolts are impractical.

This cap screw suits general fastening tasks in HVAC equipment assemblies, pump housings, pipe supports, electrical enclosures, and other mechanical systems where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Its 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread is compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts meeting that thread specification. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where stainless fasteners are called out by design or code.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and fastening hardware
• 2.5-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive for installation with Allen key or hex bit driver
• Low-profile socket head design allows use in recessed or space-constrained mounting locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or general-use hex socket cap screw for any application calling for a 1/2-13 UNC thread, 2.5-inch length under head, 316 stainless steel fastener with a 3/8-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/8-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 1/2-13 UNC thread specification before installation. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when installing stainless fasteners into stainless or aluminum threads to prevent galling. Follow the applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
