    Meet ASTM standards for use in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Also known as pressure bolts, these screws are often used to secure pressure tanks, valves, and flanges. With a head that's about 10% wider than standard hex head screws, they handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The head also has six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    High-Strength Fastener—Commonly used to fasten components in valves, pumps, motors, and other high-stress applications. These screws have a tensile strength of 125,000 to 160,000 psi.
    ASTM Grade B7—A reliable option for high-temperature machinery, such as boilers, steam turbines, and oil well equipment.
    Steel—Unfinished steel screws are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust. They require little surface prep before applying a finish, so you can apply your own paint or coating.
    Grip Length—Screws with a grip length have a precisely measured unthreaded section under the head, called a grip. It's stronger than the threaded section, so you can place it in joints exposed to sideways forces.

    High-Pressure Stainless Steel Heavy Hex Head Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Head Screws. High-Pressure Stainless Steel Heavy Hex Head Screws, Fully Threaded.

    Fully Threaded

    Resist corrosion and meet ASTM standards for use in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Also known as pressure bolts, these screws are often used to secure pressure tanks, valves, and flanges. They're also good for cold temperatures. With a head that's about 10% wider than standard hex head screws, they handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The head also has six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant ASTM Grade B8M 316 Stainless Steel—Stand up to rust and corrosion better than 18-8 stainless steel. These screws are often used near salt water, on ships, and in plants that handle harsh chemicals.

    Made of alloy steel, these screws are the standard for high-strength fastening. Use them in high-load applications such as dies, presses, and heavy equipment. The deep, six-point socket keeps the hex key from slipping out and damaging the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these screws to rust. They have a dark, matte appearance.
