Metric Blue UST180794 Socket Cap Screw M16 X 2 130mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST180794 is an alloy steel socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Built to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards, this M16 x 2 screw delivers a material grade of 12.9 - one of the highest available for metric cap screws - making it well suited for joints that demand reliable clamping force under load. The partially threaded shank allows precise location of mated components, while the hex socket drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit for installation and removal in confined spaces. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fastener.

This screw is used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications including machine tool frames, hydraulic cylinder mounting, heavy equipment assembly, fixture plates, and structural steel connections. The Metric Blue finish provides a mild level of corrosion resistance suited to controlled indoor environments. With a 130 mm length under head and M16 x 2 thread pitch, this fastener fits applications requiring a longer grip length with partial thread engagement. It is sold individually (package quantity of 1).

Key Features

• M16 x 2 thread size with 130 mm length under head for extended grip applications
• Partially threaded shank for precise component alignment and bearing-surface clamping
• Material grade 12.9 alloy steel for high tensile and proof load capacity
• Hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Metric Blue finish for light corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric socket cap screw per DIN 912 and ISO 4762, compatible with M16 x 2 tapped holes in industrial machinery, structural assemblies, and equipment requiring grade 12.9 fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a properly sized hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, correctly sized for M16 x 2 thread pitch, and free of debris before installation. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before replacing or tightening fasteners on active machinery. Do not substitute a lower material grade fastener in applications designed for grade 12.9 without engineering review.
