Value Collection 4253 Hex Socket Cap Screw M16x2 40mm Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4253 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for metric fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Built to DIN 912 standards, this screw features an M16 x 2.00 thread size with a 40 mm length under head. The bright, uncoated finish is produced from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), making it suitable for environments where rust resistance and structural integrity matter. It is installed using a hex (Allen) key drive, common in mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment fabrication. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople work with this fastener type regularly.

This cap screw is used across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications. Typical uses include mounting machinery components, securing structural brackets, and assembling equipment frames where metric fasteners and corrosion resistance are specified. The fully threaded shank allows consistent clamping force along the entire engaged thread length. The DIN 912 standard ensures dimensional consistency for use in applications where interchangeability with metric hardware is required.

Key Features

• M16 x 2.00 metric thread size for high-load fastening applications
• 40 mm length under head, fully threaded shank
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction, Material Grade A2
• Hex socket (Allen key) drive for high-torque installation in tight spaces
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances
• Manufactured to DIN 912 standard for consistent dimensional interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M16 x 2.00 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application calling for this thread size, pitch, and length under head in a stainless steel grade A2 fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex (Allen) key or hex bit socket rated for the M16 drive. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into machinery or electrical enclosures. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly corrosive environments where galvanic corrosion may be a concern. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant structural standards when tightening to final load.
