Value Collection 532517BR M18x2.5 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532517BR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength bolted assemblies in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 12.9, this fastener delivers exceptional tensile strength suited for demanding load-bearing joints. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in precision assemblies. The M18 x 2.50 thread size and 45 mm length under head make it a common choice for machine frames, hydraulic components, tooling fixtures, and heavy equipment. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance mechanics alike rely on this geometry for reliable clamping force in critical connections.

This screw is used in industrial and commercial settings where high-clamp-load fasteners are required. The hex socket drive accepts a standard Allen or hex key, allowing installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where a traditional hex head would not fit. Fully threaded along the shank, it suits thinner material stacks and applications requiring thread engagement closer to the head. Conforming to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, it is appropriate for metric-spec machinery, fabricated steel structures, and OEM equipment maintenance.

Key Features

• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof load strength
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the fastener length
• Hex socket drive allows installation in confined or recessed spaces
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-glare finish
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards for metric-spec applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M18 x 2.50 threaded holes in industrial machinery, fabricated steel components, and metric-spec equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics or maintenance technicians using a correctly sized hex key or Allen driver. De-energize and lock out all power sources and relieve any hydraulic or pneumatic pressure before disassembling the joint. Do not reuse fasteners removed from critical structural joints without inspection for thread damage or deformation. Apply thread lubricant or specified thread compound as required by the equipment manufacturer to achieve accurate clamp load during torquing.
