Metric Blue UST176304 Socket Cap Screw M16 X 2 80mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST176304 is a partially threaded socket cap screw designed for high-strength bolted assemblies in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. It features an M16 x 2 thread size with an 80 mm length under head, a hex socket drive, and a socket cap head profile. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it delivers high tensile strength and resistance to fatigue loads. The Metric Blue finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance suited to standard shop and field environments. This fastener conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards, making it a reliable choice for precision assemblies where dimensional consistency matters.

This screw is suited for use in machinery, tooling fixtures, hydraulic equipment, and general fabrication where a high-strength cap screw is required. The partially threaded shank helps locate and align mating components before full engagement. Machinists, millwrights, industrial maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors commonly specify grade 12.9 socket cap screws for critical joint applications. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard metric hex keys and socket drivers sized for M16 cap screws.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for M16 x 2 socket cap screw applications conforming to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or mechanical technician using a properly sized metric hex key or hex socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread lubricant or fastener compound as required by the joint specification to achieve accurate torque readings. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies in accordance with applicable safety procedures.
