Metric Blue UST176295 Socket Cap Screw M16 X 2 30 Mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST176295 is an M16 x 2 socket cap screw with a 30 mm length under head, manufactured from grade 12.9 alloy steel with a Metric Blue finish. It features a hex socket drive and is fully threaded along its shank. This fastener meets DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards, making it suitable for high-strength bolted connections in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically install these screws where precise torque loading and reliable clamping force are required in confined or recessed spaces.

This socket cap screw is used in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications where a low-profile head and high tensile strength are needed. Common install scenarios include machine frames, fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and heavy equipment assemblies. The M16 x 2 thread pitch and 30 mm length under head make it a practical choice for medium-depth through-hole and tapped-bore applications. The grade 12.9 rating indicates very high tensile strength, suitable for demanding load-bearing joints.

Key Features

• M16 x 2 thread size with 30 mm length under head for precise fitment in tapped bores
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full fastener length
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load strength
• Hex socket drive allows installation with an Allen key or hex bit in recessed or tight spaces
• Metric Blue finish offers a distinctive appearance and mild corrosion resistance
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 fastener standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 and ISO 4762 metric socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an M16 x 2 hex socket fastener with a 30 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate hex key or socket bit. Always verify the tapped hole depth and thread condition before installation. De-energize or lock out any equipment before fastener replacement on live machinery per applicable safety standards. Do not substitute a lower-grade fastener in applications that specify grade 12.9.
