Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it delivers exceptional tensile strength suitable for demanding bolted joint applications. The M16 x 2 thread size with a 150 mm length under head accommodates deep through-bolt configurations where partial threading is needed to maintain a smooth shank for shear load bearing. The hex socket drive allows torque application with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers. The Metric Blue finish provides a corrosion-resistant coating appropriate for in-service environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for use in machinery assembly, tooling fixtures, and structural steel connections where a high-clamp-load fastener is required. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to carry shear loads across joint interfaces, a common requirement in precision machine design and heavy equipment maintenance. It is sold individually and is appropriate for single-piece procurement or replacement of a damaged fastener in an existing assembly. The M16 x 2 coarse thread pitch is compatible with standard metric tapped holes and hex nuts conforming to ISO metric fastener standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial grade 12.9 alloy steel for high tensile and proof load strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePartially threaded shank supports shear load transfer across joint interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM16 x 2 coarse thread pitch compatible with standard ISO metric tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 mm length under head accommodates deep fastening configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex socket drive for precise torque application with Allen or hex bit tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetric Blue finish provides corrosion resistance over the alloy steel body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard ISO metric socket cap screw fitting any M16 x 2 tapped hole or hex nut per ISO metric fastener specifications. Verify thread engagement depth and hole clearance before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified millwright, machinist, or maintenance technician familiar with metric fastener torque requirements for grade 12.9 hardware. Always verify thread condition in the receiving hole before installation and use a calibrated torque wrench to apply the fastener to the assembly manufacturer's specified torque value. Do not use an impact driver to final-torque grade 12.9 cap screws, as this can induce inconsistent clamp load. Inspect the hex socket for wear before driving to avoid rounding the drive recess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16 x 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0058 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: METRIC BLUE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UST176308\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"METRIC BLUE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910378815794,"sku":"UST176308","price":27.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/71f5e2e6c143b56433eac2df9951bdaf_572ba5c2-3077-4923-a474-c3670787cac3.jpg?v=1791197654","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/metric-blue-ust176308-socket-cap-screw-m16-x-2-150-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
