Value Collection 42734 M6x1.00 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42734 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and structural fixtures. Sized at M6 x 1.00 with a 14 mm length under head, this fastener is turned using a hex socket drive and is manufactured from alloy steel to meet the demanding load requirements of grade 12.9 fasteners. The black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on finished assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this screw where high clamp load in a compact fastener footprint is required.

This screw is suited for use in precision machinery, hydraulic component mounting, tooling fixtures, and equipment requiring a recessed drive profile to keep fastener heads flush or countersunk below the work surface. The M6 x 1.00 thread pitch and 14 mm under-head length make it a common selection for medium-duty panel and bracket attachment across a wide range of industrial and OEM applications. It conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, ensuring dimensional and mechanical interchangeability with other compliant hardware of the same grade and size.

Key Features

• Fully threaded M6 x 1.00 metric thread for full engagement along the entire shank
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load ratings
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance
• Hex socket drive reduces cam-out risk compared to external drive types
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 for dimensional and mechanical compliance
• 14 mm length under head suits shallow through-hole and tapped-bore applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw compatible with any M6 x 1.00 tapped hole where a grade 12.9 alloy steel fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist, millwright, or maintenance technician using a calibrated hex key or socket drive tool sized for M6 cap screws. Always verify tapped-hole thread class and depth before installation. De-energize or lock out any equipment before fastener service per applicable safety procedures. Do not substitute a lower-grade fastener in applications that specify grade 12.9 without engineering review.
