1/2-13 x 2 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 50qty
Features
- Elongation is 10% minimum (applies to machined specimens of lenglh at least 4D where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw) and Reduction of Area is 33% minimum (applies to machined specimens)
- Supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade-5 or Grade-8 hex head cap screws while requiring less surface area or counterbore since the fastener is intenally wrenched.
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- Alloy Steel Black Material
- 1/2-13 Diameter, 2" Length
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | Cap screws of a length 3D or greater, where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw, are subject to tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area testing.

Metallics JSHC7122 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2-13 socket head cap screw thread into my existing 1/2 inch UNC tapped hole?
Yes. The Metallics JSHC7122 is a 1/2-13 screw, meaning 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch in the UN (Unified National) thread form, which is standard 1/2 inch UNC coarse thread. It mates with any 1/2-13 tapped hole or 1/2-13 nut. Usable length under the head is 2 inches, so your grip plus nut engagement has to fall inside that.
2) What counterbore diameter and depth do I need to sink this screw flush?
Head width runs 0.735 to 0.75 inch and head height 0.492 to 0.5 inch on the JSHC7122, so a counterbore of at least 0.75 inch diameter and 0.50 inch deep takes the head flush with the surface. Dimensions follow ASME B18.3-2012, so standard socket head counterbore charts apply.
3) Is a socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 8 hex bolt the same size?
These alloy steel socket head cap screws are rated at 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C39. That is above the tensile rating of an equivalent-size Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screw, and because the screw is wrenched internally you need less surface area or counterbore clearance around it. If your drawing calls out a specific SAE grade rather than a strength value, match the callout.
4) How are these 1/2-13 x 2 in. socket head cap screws packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar, with a minimum of 50 each. The packed jar weighs 6.65 lbs. If you need a different count or a different size in the SHC series, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Do these Metallics cap screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JSHC7122 socket head cap screw is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestic-origin fastener instead.
