Metric Blue UST184158 Flat Socket Cap Screw M16x2 70mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST184158 is a flat socket cap screw engineered to DIN 7991 standard for high-strength metric fastening applications. It features a 90-degree flat head with a 10 millimeter hex socket drive and a fully threaded M16x2 shank measuring 70 millimeters in overall length. Constructed from grade 12.9 alloy steel with a Metric Blue finish, this screw delivers high tensile strength and corrosion resistance suited to demanding mechanical and structural installations. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians rely on grade 12.9 fasteners where maximum clamp load and fatigue resistance are required.

This flat socket cap screw is used in applications where a flush or countersunk installation is required and bolt head protrusion is not acceptable. Typical use cases include machine frames, fixture plates, jigs, and structural assemblies in industrial, mechanical, and OEM manufacturing environments. The fully threaded design maximizes thread engagement across the full shank length. The Metric Blue finish provides a visual identifier consistent with metric-designated fastener sets used in professional trade and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation in tight clearance areas
• 10 millimeter hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof load requirements
• Fully threaded shank along the entire 70 millimeter length for maximum thread engagement
• Metric Blue finish for easy visual identification in metric fastener inventories
• Manufactured to DIN 7991 fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991-compliant metric flat socket cap screw in M16x2 thread size, suitable for use wherever a grade 12.9 countersunk hex socket fastener meeting metric thread standards is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with metric fastener torque specifications for grade 12.9 hardware. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut meets the required strength grade before installation. Countersunk holes must be machined to the correct 90-degree included angle to achieve full bearing contact with the flat head. Always consult the equipment manufacturer or applicable engineering standard for proper tightening torque before final assembly.
