Value Collection R63092246 Hex Head Cap Screw Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092246 is a 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 inch brass hex head cap screw threaded to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard. The 1/2-13 designation indicates a 1/2-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch. At 1-1/2 inches of thread length under the head, this fastener suits medium-depth engagement applications. Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties, making it suitable for environments where steel fasteners are not appropriate. The 3/4-inch hex head accepts standard hex socket or open-end wrench tooling. Trades personnel across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work regularly use brass fasteners where conductivity, corrosion exposure, or material compatibility is a concern.

This screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, pipe flange connections, equipment mounting, and panel fastening in applications requiring a corrosion-resistant, non-ferrous fastener. Brass is commonly specified in wet, coastal, or chemically active environments where iron-based fasteners would degrade. It is also selected in applications requiring electrical or thermal conductivity, or where galling with mating brass or bronze threaded components must be avoided.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• 1-1/2 inches length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking characteristics
• 3/4-inch hex head accommodates standard wrench and socket tooling
• Inch measurement system with UNC thread standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC nuts, inserts, and tapped holes in inch-system assemblies. Suitable as a general-purpose brass hex head cap screw where UNC thread engagement is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with proper fastener torque procedures for brass, which is softer than steel and more susceptible to thread stripping if over-torqued. Use a calibrated torque wrench and consult the assembly specification for the required clamp load. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. Do not mix with incompatible metals in corrosive environments without verifying galvanic compatibility.
