Value Collection VT1338PS M6x1 45mm Cheese Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1338PS is a metric machine screw with a cheese head and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It conforms to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards and carries a Grade 4.8 material classification, indicating a low-to-medium carbon steel suitable for general mechanical fastening applications. The M6x1 thread size and 45 mm length under head make it a common choice for panel assemblies, enclosures, and light structural connections. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per package, this screw is stocked for production, MRO, and maintenance environments where metric hardware conformance is required.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening in metalworking, industrial assembly, and mechanical maintenance applications. The cheese head profile offers a larger bearing surface than a pan head and a lower profile than a hex head, making it appropriate for recessed or close-tolerance assemblies. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is common in legacy machinery and instrument panels. No washer is included or required by design. This fastener is intended for installation by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly personnel working with metric hardware systems.

Key Features

• M6x1 thread size with 45 mm length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• Cheese head profile provides increased bearing surface compared to pan head designs
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 4.8 steel construction meets DIN 84 and ISO 1207 dimensional and material standards
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• Sold in lots of 100 units, suitable for production and MRO stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 84 and ISO 1207 compliant metric machine screw for use in standard M6x1 threaded holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials across general industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver sized for M6 cheese head fasteners. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut meets M6x1 specifications before installation. Do not overtighten, as Grade 4.8 hardware has lower tensile and proof load ratings than higher-grade fasteners. Thread engagement should be sufficient to carry the intended load per applicable design standards.
