Metric Blue UST184150 Flat Socket Cap Screw M16x2 40mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST184150 is a flat socket cap screw engineered for high-strength metric fastening applications. Built to DIN 7991 standards, it features an M16x2 thread size and a 10 mm hex socket drive with a 90-degree flat head profile. Manufactured from 12.9 grade alloy steel, this fastener delivers exceptional tensile strength for demanding structural and mechanical assemblies. The Metric Blue finish provides a distinctive appearance and basic corrosion resistance. The screw is fully threaded along its 40 mm overall length, ensuring maximum thread engagement throughout the fastened joint.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for applications where a flush or countersunk fastener profile is required. The 90-degree flat head sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it appropriate for machine frames, fixture plates, tooling assemblies, jigs, and precision mechanical components where protruding fastener heads are not acceptable. Installers in maintenance, manufacturing, and industrial trades commonly specify 12.9 grade flat socket cap screws for high-load, tight-tolerance joints where standard hex head or button head fasteners are not suitable.

Key Features

• DIN 7991 flat socket cap screw standard for consistent dimensional compliance
• 12.9 grade alloy steel construction for maximum tensile strength
• 90-degree flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation
• 10 mm hex socket drive for secure torque transfer
• M16x2 metric thread fully threaded along the 40 mm overall length
• Metric Blue finish for corrosion resistance and visual identification

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991-compliant metric flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an M16x2 fully threaded countersunk hex socket fastener in 12.9 alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical or industrial trade professionals using a calibrated hex socket key or driver of the correct 10 mm drive size. Ensure the mating countersink angle matches the 90-degree head geometry before driving the fastener. Consult applicable torque specifications from your engineering documentation or fastener standard references for 12.9 grade M16 hardware. Always verify thread condition and seating surface cleanliness prior to final assembly.
