Metric Blue UST176299 Socket Cap Screw M16x2 50mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST176299 is a metric hex socket drive socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications. Manufactured from alloy steel to a 12.9 material grade, it delivers exceptional tensile strength in compact spaces where a hex key or Allen driver is required. The M16 x 2 thread size with a 50 mm length under head and full threading make it well-suited for precision assemblies where consistent clamping force and thread engagement are critical. The metric blue finish provides surface protection. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals regularly specify this grade for structural and mechanical connections.

This socket cap screw is used in industrial equipment assembly, machine building, die and mold work, and heavy mechanical fabrication. Its 12.9 alloy steel construction makes it appropriate for high-load applications in both OEM production environments and field maintenance settings. Conforming to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards, it integrates directly into metric fastener systems requiring socket cap geometry. Residential and commercial mechanical trades, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician familiar with metric fastener systems. Always verify thread engagement depth and mating thread condition before installation. Use a calibrated torque wrench appropriate for 12.9-grade M16 fasteners and follow the equipment manufacturer specifications for torque values. De-energize and lock out all mechanical and electrical systems before beginning fastener installation or removal.
