Value Collection HC1X18150-005BX M18 Hex Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC1X18150-005BX is a metric hex head cap screw engineered for demanding fastening applications. It features an M18 x 2.50 thread and a 150 mm length under head, manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2 specification. The partially threaded shank follows DIN 931, EN 24014, and ISO 4014 standards, making it a fully interchangeable metric fastener for structural and mechanical assemblies. The bright, uncoated finish retains the natural corrosion resistance of the stainless alloy without additional plating or coating. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and fabricators working in corrosion-prone or washdown environments commonly specify this fastener type.

This screw is suited for use in industrial machinery, structural steel connections, process equipment, and marine or food-service environments where 18-8 stainless steel is specified. The partially threaded design provides a smooth bearing shank section, which is preferred in applications where shear loading or precise bolt hole fit is required. The 27 mm hex drive allows installation with standard metric wrenches and sockets. Sold individually, it is appropriate for low-volume repair work or custom fabrication requiring matched hardware.

Key Features

• M18 x 2.50 metric thread — conforms to DIN 931, EN 24014, and ISO 4014 standards
• 150 mm length under head with partially threaded shank for shear-load-friendly installations
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion resistant without additional coating
• 27 mm hex drive — compatible with standard metric wrenches and impact sockets
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating that can chip, flake, or introduce galvanic incompatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric hex head cap screw conforming to DIN 931, EN 24014, and ISO 4014, making it dimensionally interchangeable with any M18 x 2.50 fastener application requiring those specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 27 mm metric wrench or socket; follow applicable torque specifications for Grade A2 stainless steel fasteners per your project engineering documents or applicable standards. When assembling stainless steel fasteners into stainless mating threads, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Ensure mating hole diameter and thread engagement depth meet the requirements of the applicable structural or mechanical code before final torque.
