Value Collection 42713 Hex Socket Cap Screw M4 X 0.70

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42713 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment. Sized at M4 x 0.70 mm thread pitch with a 20 mm length under head, this fastener is fully threaded and driven with a standard hex key. It is manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, the highest common grade for metric socket cap screws, and finished with a black oxide coating that provides mild corrosion resistance and a consistent matte black appearance. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This screw is suited for use in tight-clearance environments where a low-profile socket drive head is required and where high tensile and shear loads demand a grade 12.9 alloy steel fastener. Typical applications include CNC machine components, jigs, dies, hydraulic manifolds, and general industrial equipment requiring precise metric fastening. The black oxide finish makes it a common choice where surface reflectivity must be minimized or where a uniform dark appearance is specified.

Key Features

• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding assemblies
• M4 x 0.70 mm thread pitch with 20 mm length under head
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in thin or shallow tapped holes
• Hex socket drive compatible with standard metric hex keys and allen drivers
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced surface reflectivity
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use metric socket cap screw for any application requiring an M4 x 0.70 mm thread pitch fastener per DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with metric fastener torque requirements for grade 12.9 socket cap screws. Use a properly sized metric hex key or socket bit to avoid rounding the drive recess. Always verify that the mating tapped hole thread pitch and depth are compatible with M4 x 0.70 mm before installation. Apply thread-locking compound or specified preload torque per the equipment manufacturer's documentation.
