Cap head screws are available in a variety of diameters, lengths, and materials. Competitive prices and bulk discounts are available across the range. With a deep hexagonal recess that will allow for higher torque, and higher clamping force. A versatile engineering fastener that is tightened using a hex key or hex wrench with a low-head screw version available.
Available in A2 and A4 stainless steel, steel with a bright zinc plating (BZP), and self-colour steel. Thread types available are metric coarse, imperial unified coarse (UNC), and unified fine (UNF).
