For drawings calling out 1/2-20 x 7/8, this 18-8 stainless hex head fastener supports assemblies where top-drive clearance is not required. In this size range it is treated as a hex head cap screw, with the hex head driven by external tooling rather than an internal socket.
Common application reviews include tank supports, fixture plates, and stainless brackets. Stainless-on-stainless threads can gall when run down fast or dry; moderate installation speed and thread lubricant are prudent on larger diameters.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material used for ordinary atmosphere, moisture exposure, washdown, and clean appearance. Cold Headers' catalog work is strongest where the requested size, material, and application details need a careful match.
