Features of Grade 2 Hex Cap Screws

All of our Grade 2 hex cap screws meet industry standards for ASME B18.2.1, offering a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi. The hexagon-shaped head can be fastened with a wrench or socket, allowing for durable connections. Compatible hex nuts are optional for an extra layer of security; however, these screws create reliable and secure connections on their own. Grade 2 hex cap screws are available in a wide range of sizes and lengths to support all types of projects.
