Value Collection HC1X18065 Hex Head Cap Screw M18 2.50 X 65mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC1X18065 is a metric hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. It features a partially threaded shank with an M18 x 2.50 thread profile and a length under head of 65 mm. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of the stainless steel base material. This fastener conforms to DIN 931 standards and is suited for mechanical assembly, structural connections, and equipment fabrication where corrosion resistance and metric sizing are required. Installation is performed with a 27 mm hex wrench or socket.

This cap screw is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and marine environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions demands a corrosion-resistant fastener. The partial threading allows for shoulder engagement along the unthreaded shank section, making it appropriate for through-bolt applications, flange connections, and machinery assembly where precise clamping length matters. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with metric fastener specifications will find this screw fits standard M18 tapped holes and mating hardware.

Key Features

• M18 x 2.50 metric thread profile conforming to DIN 931 standard
• Partially threaded shank with 65 mm length under head
• 18-8 austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or alter thread tolerances
• 27 mm hex drive compatible with standard metric sockets and wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 931 compliant metric hex head cap screw for use with standard M18 x 2.50 metric threaded holes and mating nuts in industrial, fabrication, and equipment assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist, millwright, or maintenance technician using a 27 mm hex socket or open-end wrench. Verify that the mating thread is M18 x 2.50 metric before installation to avoid cross-threading. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads when torquing to specification. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with incompatible metals in applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
