Value Collection HC3X18065-010BX M18 Hex Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC3X18065-010BX is a metric hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. It is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, with a bright uncoated finish. The fastener is fully threaded with an M18 x 2.50 thread size and measures 65 mm under the head. Conforming to DIN 933, EN 24017, and ISO 4017 standards, this screw is well suited for mechanical assembly work in industrial, commercial, and marine-adjacent environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust or chemical attack.

This screw is appropriate for use in fabrication, maintenance, and equipment assembly applications where metric fastening is specified. Its full thread engagement along the shank allows for maximum grip in through-hole and blind-hole configurations. Tradespeople in plumbing, HVAC, pool equipment service, and general mechanical work will encounter this size in pump mounting, bracket installation, and equipment panel fastening. The Grade A2 stainless construction meets the corrosion resistance expectations for wet or outdoor service environments.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank provides consistent thread engagement across the full fastener length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion resistant without plating or coating
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating degradation over time or in wet environments
• Meets DIN 933, EN 24017, and ISO 4017 dimensional and mechanical standards
• 34 mm hex drive size accommodates standard metric wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and general-use metric hex head cap screw suitable for any application specifying an M18 x 2.50 x 65 mm fully threaded fastener per DIN 933, EN 24017, or ISO 4017.

Installation Notes

Install using a metric socket or open-end wrench sized for a 34 mm hex. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before fastener service on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless-to-stainless contact to prevent galling. Do not overtorque — stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling and thread seizure if driven without lubrication or with excessive speed.
