Value Collection SCX216025-010BX M16 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX216025-010BX is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive interface and a high-profile cylindrical head. Threaded M16 x 2.00 with a 25 mm length under head, this fastener is fully threaded along its entire shaft. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel to the austenitic Grade A2 classification, providing corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. Drive engagement is via an internal hex socket, requiring an appropriately sized hex key or socket driver. This screw meets the DIN 912 fastener standard and is supplied uncoated with a bright finish.

This fastener is suited for mechanical assembly, structural fabrication, equipment maintenance, and industrial applications where a flush or countersunk cap head is not desired and a standard cylindrical profile is appropriate. The M16 x 2.00 thread size and 25 mm length under head make it a common choice in mid-to-heavy-duty assemblies. Trades and industries including mechanical contracting, HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing equipment fabrication, electrical enclosure work, and general industrial maintenance regularly use fasteners in this specification. The hex socket drive allows for torque application in confined spaces where a wrench may not fit.

Key Features

• M16 x 2.00 metric thread with 25 mm length under head
• Fully threaded shaft along entire length under head
• 18-8 stainless steel construction, austenitic Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to interfere with torque-tension relationships
• Hex socket (Allen) drive type for use in confined installation spaces
• Manufactured to DIN 912 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M16 x 2.00 metric hex socket cap screw, suitable for use in any application or assembly specifying that thread size, pitch, length under head, and Grade A2 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a properly sized hex key or hex socket drive tool matched to the M16 socket cap screw head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Ensure mating threads are clean and undamaged before driving to avoid galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners — applying an anti-seize compound is standard practice for stainless-to-stainless thread engagement. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant codes for the assembly type.
