Value Collection FHS1XX1630-010BX M16x2 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FHS1XX1630-010BX is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications where a low-profile head is required. It features a 90-degree flat head with a 10 mm hex socket drive and is fully threaded along its 30 mm overall length. Manufactured from 316 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A4, this fastener offers strong corrosion resistance suitable for wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. Thread size is M16x2 with a 6G thread fit class per the Metric standard and meets DIN 7991 fastener specifications. Installation requires a 10 mm hex key or Allen driver.

This screw is used in applications where the fastener head must sit flush with or below the mating surface, such as machine assemblies, structural panels, brackets, and equipment housings. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for outdoor, coastal, food-processing, or industrial settings where carbon steel fasteners would corrode. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general contractors commonly use flat socket cap screws of this type in both light and heavy fabrication work.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation
• 10 mm hex socket drive for positive torque transfer with standard Allen tools
• Fully threaded along the 30 mm shank length for maximum thread engagement
• 316 austenitic stainless steel at Grade A4 for excellent corrosion resistance
• Conforms to DIN 7991 fastener standard with 6G metric thread fit class
• Plain finish with no coating to maintain dimensional tolerances and material properties

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991-compliant M16x2 flat socket cap screw suitable for use in standard metric countersunk holes requiring a 90-degree head angle and Grade A4 stainless steel corrosion performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed using a calibrated 10 mm hex key or socket driver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is machined to the correct 90-degree countersink angle and is free of debris before seating the fastener. A licensed millwright or qualified technician should verify that thread engagement depth and clamping load requirements are appropriate for the application. Do not use impact drivers on stainless steel fasteners without proper speed control, as galling of the threads can occur.
