Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel hex head screw is engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of the food industry and other sanitary environments. The combination of a fully threaded UNC coarse thread and Class 2A fit ensures rapid, secure installation and vibration resistance in equipment assembly. The integrated nitrile rubber seal provides a critical barrier against moisture and microbial ingress, addressing common failure points in washdown areas. Its metal and x-ray detectable properties are a proactive engineering solution to prevent costly product contamination recalls. The smooth 32 microinch exterior finish minimizes particle trapping, facilitating easier cleaning and meeting strict hygienic design principles, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs in continuous production lines.

Specification Summary & Compliance
