Value Collection 531097PR M6x1 12mm Low Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 531097PR is a metric low socket cap screw designed for applications where standard-height cap screw heads would interfere with mating components or surrounding hardware. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 10.9, this fastener delivers high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. It features a 4 mm hex socket drive and is fully threaded along its 12 mm length, measured from under the head. A black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a consistent dark appearance. This screw meets SIP 147 fastener standards and is sized M6x1, meaning a 6 mm nominal diameter with a 1 mm thread pitch.

This screw is used in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing applications where a low-profile fastener head is required. Typical installation scenarios include machine frames, jigs, fixtures, enclosures, and assemblies where clearance above the fastener is limited. The fully threaded shank allows thread engagement across the entire grip length, making it well suited for thin workpieces or shallow threaded holes. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals commonly install this fastener in production and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces clearance requirements compared to standard socket cap screws
• Alloy steel construction at material grade 10.9 provides high tensile and proof load ratings
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in shallow or thin workpieces
• 4 mm hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and socket bits
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Meets SIP 147 fastener standard for dimensional and performance consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric fastener replacement suitable for M6x1 threaded holes requiring a low-profile socket cap head in machinery, equipment frames, and industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 4 mm hex key or matching hex socket bit. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or preload torque per the assembly specification for the application. Always power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener service on live machinery.
