Value Collection MP42742 Socket Cap Head Screw M6x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP42742 is a socket cap head machine screw used to fasten components in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment frames. It features an M6x1 thread size with a 45 mm length under the head. The recessed hex socket drive allows torque to be applied with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. This fastener is suited for general-purpose industrial and mechanical work where a low-profile, high-strength threaded connection is needed. Maintenance technicians, machinists, and assembly workers are the typical installers.

This socket cap head screw is used across a wide range of applications including machinery maintenance, equipment assembly, HVAC component mounting, and mechanical enclosures. The M6 metric thread is a common size found in both light industrial and commercial equipment. It is typically used in tapped holes where a flush or recessed head is preferred and where access for a wrench may be limited.

Key Features

• M6x1 thread size for compatibility with standard M6 metric tapped holes
• 45 mm length under head provides reach for medium-depth fastening applications
• Socket cap head design allows installation with a hex key or Allen wrench
• Compact head profile suits recessed or tight-clearance installations
• Sold in multiples of 25 for job-lot use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and components using standard M6x1 metric threaded fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen wrench matching the socket cap drive. Verify that the tapped hole thread pitch matches M6x1 before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the tapped hole or shear the screw. Follow applicable machine or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines where specified.
