Baks SGK M8x16 Mushroom Head Screw with Serrated Flange Nut

The Baks SGK M8x16 set consists of a high-quality mushroom head screw paired with a serrated flange nut, specifically engineered for robust fastening in cable tray systems and various metal structures. This hardware solution is designed to provide a secure and stable connection, ensuring that components remain firmly in place even in demanding industrial or commercial environments. The integrated design simplifies the assembly process while maintaining high standards of mechanical integrity.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this set is the inclusion of a serrated flange nut, which acts as a locking mechanism to prevent loosening caused by vibrations. This feature eliminates the need for additional washers, streamlining the installation process. Furthermore, the serrated surface of the nut is designed to bite into the mounting surface, which helps establish a reliable electrical bond between connected metal parts, essential for grounding and safety in electrical installations. The mushroom head screw provides a smooth, low-profile finish that minimizes snagging risks.

Suitable for

• Securing cable trays and ladder systems
• Mounting metal brackets and support structures
• Electrical grounding and bonding applications
• Industrial and commercial infrastructure assembly

This product may not be suitable for applications requiring high-torque tensioning beyond standard manual or power tool limits, or in environments where the specific steel finish is incompatible with highly corrosive chemical exposures. It is also not intended for use in structural load-bearing applications where specialized high-tensile bolts are mandated by engineering specifications.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8
• Length: 16 mm
• Head type: Mushroom head
• Nut type: Serrated flange nut
• Material: Steel

To use the Baks SGK M8x16 set, align the components to be fastened and insert the mushroom head screw through the pre-drilled holes. Place the serrated flange nut onto the threaded end of the screw. Tighten the nut using an appropriate wrench or socket until the serrations are firmly engaged with the surface of the metal structure. Ensure that the connection is tightened sufficiently to prevent movement, but avoid over-tightening which could damage the threads or the mounting surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M8 hole diameter is compatible with your specific cable tray or structure
• Ensure the 16 mm length is sufficient for the thickness of the materials being joined
• Confirm that the environment is suitable for standard steel hardware

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that the contact surfaces are clean and free of debris before tightening. Regularly inspect the connections in high-vibration environments to maintain structural integrity.
