Metric Blue UST176297 Socket Cap Screw M16 X 2 40 Mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST176297 is a socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, tooling, and industrial equipment. Sized at M16 x 2 with a 40 mm length under head, this screw is fully threaded and driven by a hex socket, making it compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it delivers the high tensile and proof load strength required in demanding mechanical and structural installations. The Metric Blue finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance appropriate for general industrial use. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This screw is suited for residential machinery, commercial equipment, and industrial assemblies where an M16 coarse-thread fastener is specified. The 40 mm under-head length and full threading make it appropriate for through-bolt applications or for threading into a sufficient depth of material. It conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other fasteners meeting those specifications.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fastener for any assembly specifying an M16 x 2 socket cap screw per DIN 912 or ISO 4762.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or mechanical contractors using a hex key or hex socket driver sized to the M16 socket cap head. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners in live assemblies. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for grade 12.9 fasteners.
