Description
The M8 x 20 Socket Cap Head Bolt is a precision-engineered fastening component designed for use in Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders. Featuring a compact cylindrical head with an internal hexagonal socket recess, this fastener allows for high torque application using an Allen key or hex socket driver — making it ideal for installations in tight or recessed areas where a standard wrench cannot reach. Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel with an industrial-grade finish, this M8 x 20 cap head bolt delivers the clamping force and reliability required in the rigorous conditions of industrial material processing operations.

Installation Guidelines:
Use the correct size hex key or Allen socket to avoid rounding the internal drive
Clean threads and mating surfaces thoroughly before installation
Apply thread-locking compound if specified by the equipment service manual
Torque to manufacturer’s specifications using a calibrated torque wrench
Confirm proper seating and alignment upon completion
Maintenance & Inspection:
Inspect regularly for signs of corrosion, wear, or thread damage during scheduled maintenance
Replace immediately if the internal socket shows signs of rounding or stripping
Verify torque values at each equipment service interval
Maintain a supply of replacement fasteners for efficient emergency repairs
