Metric Blue UST176228 Socket Cap Screw M6 X 1 16 Mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST176228 is a socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in precision mechanical assemblies. This fastener features an M6 x 1 thread size with a 16 mm length under head and a hex socket drive for positive torque transmission. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it delivers exceptional tensile strength suited to demanding load conditions. A Metric Blue finish provides a consistent, identifiable surface treatment. The fully threaded shank ensures maximum thread engagement across the full length of the fastener. Licensed trades, mechanical engineers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this fastener class.

This screw is appropriate for use in industrial machinery, automotive components, hydraulic equipment, tooling fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies where a high-strength metric fastener is required. The M6 x 1 thread pitch and 16 mm under-head length make it a common selection for medium-duty clamping applications. Conformance to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards ensures dimensional interchangeability with other fasteners of the same specification. This SKU is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 thread size with fully threaded shank for maximum engagement
• 16 mm length under head suits medium-depth threaded bore applications
• Alloy steel construction at material grade 12.9 for high tensile strength
• Hex socket drive reduces cam-out risk during installation
• Metric Blue finish for easy visual identification among metric fasteners
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric fastener replacement or new-installation component for any application requiring a DIN 912 or ISO 4762 compliant M6 x 1 socket cap screw at 16 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the drive socket. Ensure threaded bores are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread-locking compound or specified preload torque per the equipment manufacturer's fastener specification, as this grade 12.9 fastener is capable of high clamp loads. Do not mix metric and inch-series fasteners in the same assembly.
