Value Collection 42196 Hex Head Cap Screw M18 X 2.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42196 is a metric hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, fabrication, and equipment maintenance. Built to Grade 8.8 steel, it delivers a reliable tensile strength suitable for medium- to high-load bolted joints. The screw features a partially threaded shank with an M18 x 2.50 thread profile, a 100 mm length under the head, and a 27 mm hex drive. A zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket driver. It conforms to DIN 933 and ISO 4017 dimensional standards.

This fastener is appropriate for a wide range of metric bolting applications including structural brackets, machinery frames, HVAC equipment mounting, and general fabrication. The partial threading makes it well suited for through-bolted assemblies where shank clearance through a hole is required before thread engagement on the far end. Trade professionals and maintenance technicians working with metric equipment will find this screw dimensionally consistent with DIN and ISO hardware specifications. Package quantity is 3 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician using a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate 27 mm metric socket. Always verify mating thread condition and hole clearance before installation. Consult the equipment manufacturer torque specification table for the applicable joint — do not rely on generic torque estimates for safety-critical connections. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment service documentation for fastener replacement procedures.
