Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC3X12016-050BX is a fully threaded metric hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Sized at M12 x 1.75 thread pitch with a 16 mm length under head and a 19 mm hex drive, this fastener meets DIN 933 standards. The 18-8 stainless composition provides solid corrosion resistance for a wide range of mechanical assemblies. This SKU is sold as a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it suitable for shop stock, field kits, or production assembly use. Trades including HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical contractors rely on metric stainless fasteners like this for equipment mounting, panel attachment, and structural connections.

This screw is appropriate for metric fastening applications in both residential and commercial settings where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. The fully threaded DIN 933 configuration suits through-bolt applications and shorter clamping joints. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, pump flanges, sheet metal assemblies, and any application calling for a metric M12 stainless fastener. The austenitic Grade A2 designation confirms suitability for mildly corrosive environments including washdown areas and outdoor enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using the appropriate 19 mm wrench or socket. Always verify thread engagement depth and mating material compatibility before final torque. Stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound to threads when fastening into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
