Value Collection 42733 M6 X 1.00 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42733 is an M6 x 1.00 metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, machinery, and equipment. With a 12 mm length under head and fully threaded shank, this fastener delivers full thread engagement across the entire grip length. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it carries one of the highest tensile strength ratings in the metric fastener classification system. A black oxide finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. It is installed using a standard hex key or Allen driver and is suitable for use by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors.

This screw is suited for use in close-tolerance mechanical joints where a high-strength, low-profile fastener head is required. The fully threaded configuration makes it ideal for through-hole applications and short-grip clamping scenarios where partial threading would reduce thread engagement. It conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, making it interchangeable with other fasteners produced to those specifications across industrial and commercial maintenance applications.

Key Features

• M6 x 1.00 thread size with 12 mm length under head for compact, high-load joints
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in through-hole installations
• Alloy steel construction at material grade 12.9 for high tensile and proof load strength
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced surface reflectivity
• Hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen bits
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric fastener compatible with any M6 x 1.00 threaded hole or insert requiring a DIN 912 hex socket cap screw at 12 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with metric fastener torque requirements for grade 12.9 alloy steel hardware. Always confirm thread pitch and hole depth before installation to avoid cross-threading or bottoming out. Use a properly sized hex key or socket bit to avoid rounding the drive recess. Do not mix fastener grades within a joint without verifying the torque specification for the lowest-grade component in the assembly.
