Value Collection MASC0060020CP M6 X 1 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MASC0060020CP is a fully threaded socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. It features a hex socket drive head that accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench, allowing high torque in confined spaces where a conventional wrench cannot reach. Built to DIN 912 specification, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), giving it solid corrosion resistance in wet or mildly chemical environments. The M6 x 1 thread pitch and 20 mm length under head make it a common size for machine frames, panels, and precision sub-assemblies across industrial and mechanical maintenance trades.

This socket cap screw is suited for general mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications where a clean, low-profile fastener head is required. Typical use cases include securing machine guards, brackets, pump housings, enclosures, and equipment frames. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode, such as food-processing areas, marine-adjacent installations, and outdoor mechanical enclosures. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians regularly specify DIN 912 socket cap screws in metric-fastened equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• DIN 912 standard socket cap screw for consistent dimensional and mechanical conformance
• M6 x 1 thread with 20 mm length under head, fully threaded along the entire shank
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly aggressive environments
• Hex socket (Allen) drive for high-torque installation in tight or recessed locations
• Low-profile socket cap head seats flush-adjacent to surfaces without protruding hardware interference

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric socket cap screw in M6 x 1 thread. Compatible with any tapped or pre-threaded M6 x 1 metric hole conforming to standard metric thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a properly sized metric hex key or Allen driver; using an undersized or worn key risks rounding the socket drive. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless threaded holes, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling. Follow the torque requirements specified by the equipment manufacturer for M6 fasteners in the applicable assembly.
