Description
Grade 8.8 Hex Cap Screw — Grade 8.8 hex socket (allen) for machinery, tooling, dies and high-strength assembly. Stocked across common sizes and lengths.
The Grade 8.8 hex cap screw is a metric high-tensile bolt, the most widely used high-strength metric fastener in machinery and general engineering. Grade 8.8 offers a well-proven balance of strength and ductility for machine assembly, equipment mounting and structural fastening on metric-specified projects. It is the metric counterpart to the imperial high-strength bolts, and the default choice wherever drawings call out metric high-tensile fasteners.
Grade 8.8 cap screws are supplied in a range of metric diameters and lengths, with matching grade nuts. Matching the bolt grade to the design load prevents the failures that come from under-specifying a fastener. Confirm the metric sizes available in the specifications below.
