Saeco 996530013148 Torx Screw 3.5x14mm

Product Description

The SAECO 996530013148 is a Torx T10 machine screw used in the assembly and service of Saeco espresso and coffee equipment. This fastener measures 3.5 millimeters in diameter with a 14-millimeter length and is designed for plastic-into-metal or plastic-into-plastic engagement, making it a thread-cutting style screw suited to the molded housings and panels common in coffee machine construction. Coffee equipment technicians and appliance repair specialists will encounter this screw during disassembly of covers, frames, and internal component mounts. The cross-reference number 129912521 may appear on older service documentation for the same part.

This screw is used in Saeco-branded coffee and espresso machines where Torx T10 fasteners are specified for panel or housing assembly. It is a direct OEM replacement for technicians performing warranty repairs, out-of-warranty service, or refurbishment of Saeco units. Having exact-specification fasteners on hand prevents stripping and ensures proper torque engagement in plastic bosses during reassembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance or coffee equipment technician. Disconnect the unit from mains power before disassembling any housing or panel.
