18-8, 5/16"-18 Hex Head Tap Bolt, Plain Stainless Steel, 2 in L, 50 PK

The ZORO SELECT - U51010.031.0200 is a Hex Head Tap Bolt, a type of fastener with a hexagonal head and machine screw threads that taper to a point. This bolt is designed for use in drilled and tapped holes, where it's tightened or loosened using an external hex drive tool such as a wrench or socket. Made from stainless steel grade 18-8, this bolt complies with ASTM F593 standards which provide guidelines about its theoretical strength, hardness and resistance properties. Suitability for specific industrial applications should be determined by user based on their unique requirements.

• Drive: The external hex drive requires a wrench or socket of the same shape for application.
• Fastener Length: With a length of 2 inches from under the head to the end of the screw, this is an indication of how far into material it could potentially be inserted. Actual secure fastening will depend on various factors including but not limited to material properties and installation technique.
• Finish: Plain finish may contribute to durability and corrosion resistance; appearance may vary.
• Globally Sourced: Procured from international manufacturers ensuring diverse range options in quality and price.
• Material Grade/Class: Stainless Steel 18-8 is known for its potential strength, durability and corrosion resistance. Suitability for specific industrial applications should be determined by user based on their unique requirements.
• Tensile Strength: A tensile strength of 85,000 psi is a measure of the maximum amount of stress this bolt can theoretically withstand before breaking or permanently deforming.
• Thread Direction & Size: Right hand thread direction tightens clockwise; Thread size 5/16"-18 ensures fit with corresponding nuts or holes
• Thread Style & Type: Fully threaded design covers entire length from tip to head; UNC thread type affects fitting into pre-drilled holes/materials
