Value Collection 42738 M6x1 Hex Socket Cap Screw Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42738 is an M6 x 1.00 metric hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical assemblies. The screw features a 25 mm length under head and is fully threaded, allowing full thread engagement across the entire shaft. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards at material grade 12.9, indicating very high tensile strength. This fastener is suited for machine builders, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with metric-threaded assemblies where a low-profile socket head is required.

This screw is commonly used in industrial machinery, equipment frames, jigs, fixtures, and mechanical enclosures where a recessed drive head is preferred to keep fasteners flush or below the work surface. The hex socket drive requires an Allen wrench or hex bit driver, making it well suited for confined spaces where a standard wrench cannot reach. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package.

Key Features

• M6 x 1.00 metric thread size with 25 mm length under head
• Fully threaded shaft for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction rated to material grade 12.9 for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection

• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric fastener replacement for assemblies requiring M6 x 1.00 hex socket cap screws conforming to DIN 912 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a properly sized hex key or Allen bit driver. Always ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Grade 12.9 fasteners should not be substituted into applications specified for lower-grade hardware without engineering review. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines based on thread size and joint material.
