Value Collection 42730 M6 X 1.00 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42730 is a metric hex socket cap screw engineered for applications requiring a high-strength, low-profile fastener with internal drive. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it delivers exceptional tensile and shear strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and a clean, finished appearance. The M6 x 1.00 thread profile and 8 mm length under head make this screw well suited for compact, precision-fit installations. A licensed mechanic, millwright, or equipment technician is the typical installer.

This screw is used across a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and trade applications where a recessed hex drive is preferred over an external-head fastener. Common scenarios include mounting brackets, motor housings, pump assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, and general machine assembly work. The fully threaded shank allows engagement through the full bearing length, maximizing thread contact in thinner materials. This fastener conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, ensuring dimensional and mechanical property consistency with other compliant hardware in the same size.

Key Features

• Material grade 12.9 alloy steel for high tensile strength under load
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement in thin stock
• Hex socket drive reduces fastener head profile and resists cam-out
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 dimensional and mechanical standards
• M6 x 1.00 thread is a widely used metric size with broad tooling availability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any mechanical assembly calling for a DIN 912 or ISO 898-1 compliant M6 x 1.00 hex socket cap screw with an 8 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or trade technician using a calibrated hex key or Allen driver sized for M6 socket cap screws. De-energize and lock out all equipment before replacing or torquing fasteners in live assemblies. Do not mix metric and imperial tooling, as rounded sockets can damage the hex recess. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for grade 12.9 M6 fasteners as published in the applicable service documentation.
