Value Collection R80323496 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/2-13 X 8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80323496 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications. Sized at 1/2-13 UNC thread with an 8-inch length under the head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated for a clean, corrosion-resistant finish. The partial threading allows for bearing shear loads along the unthreaded shank, making it well suited for structural connections and precision clamping where full thread engagement is not required. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades will recognize this as a standard inch-series fastener for heavy-duty bolted assemblies.

This screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical installations wherever a corrosion-resistant, heavy-gauge fastener is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor equipment mounting, equipment pads, pipe supports, panel framing, and other assemblies exposed to moisture or mild chemical environments. The UNC thread form is the most widely used coarse-thread standard in inch-series applications, ensuring broad tool and nut compatibility across job sites.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread provides wide hardware compatibility across inch-series nuts, inserts, and tapped holes
• 8-inch length under head accommodates thick material stacks and deep clamping applications
• Partially threaded shank handles shear loads and maintains precise clamping between mating surfaces
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish avoids coating thickness variation and is suitable for direct contact with stainless hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, lock washers, and tapped holes conforming to UNC thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 3/4-inch hex wrench or socket driver rated for the fastener grade. Always confirm the mating nut or tapped hole is rated for 18-8 stainless steel to avoid galvanic incompatibility. Torque to the value specified in the equipment manufacturer documentation or applicable fastener standard for 1/2-13 stainless hardware. Do not mix stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments without consulting compatibility references.
