Saeco 996530013166 Torx Screw T10 3.5x12 Zinc Plated

Product Description

The SAECO 996530013166 is a Torx T10 tapping screw used in SAECO espresso machine assemblies. Also referenced as part number 129914102, this screw measures 3.5 millimeters in diameter with a 12 millimeter length and features a zinc plated finish over a plastic-compatible thread form. The TSP (tapping screw for plastics) design allows it to cut threads directly into plastic housings without a pre-tapped insert. Service technicians working on SAECO machines encounter this fastener in panel, chassis, and component bracket assemblies where a secure yet removable plastic-mount connection is required.

This screw is intended for use in SAECO espresso machine service and repair applications. It is a direct OEM replacement fastener suited for reassembly work during internal component service, housing disassembly, or module replacement procedures on SAECO coffee equipment. The T10 drive requires a T10 Torx bit, which is standard in appliance repair tool kits.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM replacement fastener for SAECO espresso machine and coffee equipment assemblies requiring a T10 Torx tapping screw in plastic housings.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of internal fasteners on espresso machines should be performed by a qualified appliance or coffee equipment technician. Disconnect the machine from power before accessing any internal components. Use a T10 Torx driver and apply only hand torque when driving into plastic to avoid stripping the self-tapped threads. Do not substitute a different screw size or drive type, as incorrect fasteners can damage plastic mounting bosses and affect housing integrity.
