Value Collection HC1XX18065-001BX M18 Hex Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC1XX18065-001BX is a metric hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (A4). It measures M18 x 2.50 thread pitch with a 65 mm length under head and uses a 27 mm hex drive. The partially threaded shank follows DIN 931 standards, making it a reliable fastener for structural and mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is required. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers working in marine, chemical, food processing, or outdoor environments typically specify 316 stainless hardware for its superior resistance to chlorides and oxidizing agents compared to standard 304 grade material.

This cap screw is suited for metric bolted connections in residential and commercial mechanical systems, structural steel fabrication, and equipment mounting applications. The uncoated bright finish is appropriate where the natural corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel is sufficient without an additional protective layer. It is a common choice in plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, pool and spa hardware, and marine-grade installations where fastener integrity over time is critical.

Key Features

• Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (A4) for excellent chloride and corrosion resistance
• Partially threaded shank per DIN 931 for precise load distribution in structural joints
• M18 x 2.50 mm thread pitch in standard metric sizing
• 27 mm hex drive compatible with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to chip, peel, or contaminate the joint
• DIN 931 compliant for consistent dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric fastener for use in any application requiring an M18 x 2.50 x 65 mm partially threaded hex head cap screw conforming to DIN 931 in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson or mechanical technician familiar with metric fastener standards. Always verify thread engagement depth and joint clamping requirements before final tightening. Use calibrated torque equipment and follow the applicable mechanical or structural code for the specific installation. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in wet environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk.
