Value Collection R63092162 Hex Head Cap Screw Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092162 is a 1/2-13 x 1 inch brass hex head cap screw built to inch-series UNC thread standards. The 1/2-13 designation indicates a 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch, a coarse-thread configuration suited for general fastening in trade and mechanical applications. The length under head measures 1 inch. The hex drive measures 3/4 inches across flats, compatible with standard wrenches and sockets. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and is well suited for use in environments where galvanic compatibility with brass or copper fittings is required, including plumbing and HVAC assemblies.

This screw is used in a wide range of trade installations where a non-ferrous, corrosion-resistant fastener is specified. Common applications include plumbing fixture mounting, brass valve and fitting assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, pool equipment enclosures, and electrical enclosure hardware. The coarse UNC thread pattern makes it easy to start by hand and suitable for use in tapped holes in softer metals, plastics, or brass components. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals commonly stock this fastener size for routine service and assembly work.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for reliable engagement in brass, soft metal, and plastic tapped holes
• 1 inch length under head for standard fastening depth in typical trade assemblies
• 3/4 inch hex across flats fits standard wrenches and sockets
• Brass material resists corrosion and provides galvanic compatibility with copper and brass fittings
• Inch-series dimensions conform to standard UNC fastener specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/2-13 threaded brass fastener with a 1 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand-threading into a pre-tapped or nut-fitted 1/2-13 UNC hole, then torqued with a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. Brass is a softer material than steel — avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or deform the fastener head. When installing in plumbing or HVAC assemblies, shut off water supply or power to the system before disassembling any component. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC for mechanical fastening in those systems.
