Product Description
M6 Zinc-Plated 12.9 Socket Cap Set Screws
These M6 socket cap set screws are manufactured from high-tensile property class 12.9 steel and supplied with a zinc-plated finish. They feature a standard M6 × 1 metric coarse thread and are fully threaded along their available length.
The cylindrical socket cap head incorporates an internal hexagon drive, providing secure tool engagement and allowing installation where access around the head is restricted. Their high-strength construction makes them suitable for demanding machinery, automotive and engineering assemblies.

Typical Applications
Suitable for machinery, automotive components, manufacturing equipment, tooling, jigs, fixtures, structural assemblies and general engineering applications requiring a compact, high-strength metric fastener.
Installation Guidance
Confirm the required length and ensure the mating component has a standard M6 × 1 metric thread. Screw length is measured from beneath the socket cap head to the end of the fastener.
Use a correctly fitting 5mm hex key and apply a tightening torque appropriate for the joint design, lubrication condition and application. Property class 12.9 fasteners should be installed into mating components of suitable strength.
Zinc plating provides a degree of corrosion protection but is not intended for continuous exposure to highly corrosive, marine or chemical environments. Consider stainless steel or a more suitable protective coating for such applications.
