Value Collection R92412632 Hex Cap Screw 1/2-13 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R92412632 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw sized at 1/2-13 UNC thread by 5-1/2 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with no additional coating, this fastener is well suited for corrosion-resistant installations where contact with moisture, chemicals, or harsh environments is expected. Grade 316 stainless offers greater resistance to chlorides and acids compared to 304-series material, making it a common choice in plumbing, marine, chemical, and process-industry applications. The partially threaded shank allows for shear loading across the unthreaded grip length. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This fastener fits standard inch-series 1/2-13 UNC tapped holes and clearance bores. It is used in structural and mechanical assemblies across commercial plumbing, HVAC equipment frames, pool and water treatment equipment, and general industrial applications where Grade 316 material is specified by engineer or code. The partially threaded design is appropriate when the joint requires a defined grip zone between two clamped components rather than full thread engagement through the entire shank length.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form, inch-series measurement system
• 5-1/2 inch length under head for deep-reach fastening applications
• Partially threaded shank supports shear loading across the grip zone
• Uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 316 stainless

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard inch-series 1/2-13 UNC tapped or clearance-hole assembly requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors. Always confirm that mating tapped holes are cut to 1/2-13 UNC specification before assembly. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable torque specifications per engineering drawings or recognized fastener standards rather than general estimates.
