Key Features

M6 Thread for Medium-Heavy Duty Applications

Ideal for applications where a stronger fastening solution is required compared to smaller M4 or M5 screws. The M6 x 40mm size ensures a firm hold, suitable for thicker materials and larger components.

Zinc Plated Finish for Corrosion Resistance

The zinc coating provides a protective barrier against rust and oxidation, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance in non-exposed environments such as electrical boxes, enclosures, fixtures, and brackets.

Universal Compatibility

Fits standard M6 threaded components, inserts, and tapped holes. Suitable for use with many industrial products, mounting systems, and electrical accessories.

Pre-Packed in Convenient Quantities

Pack of 2 screws—perfect for small-scale fixes, replacements, or as spares for on-site maintenance kits.

Common Applications

Electrical Installations – Securing faceplates, panels, or components to metal back boxes

Metal Fabrication – Joining steel parts in light frames or casings

Appliance Repair – Fastening parts in machinery or household appliances

Construction and Engineering – Fixtures in frameworks, channel systems, and control boxes

DIY Projects – General-purpose fastening where strength and stability are required

Installation Notes

Pre-Drill and Tap: Ensure the receiving surface is pre-drilled and tapped to M6 specifications for optimal engagement.

Do Not Overtighten: Avoid applying excessive torque, especially when fixing to plastic or brittle materials.

Compatible Tools: Use an appropriate screwdriver or socket wrench based on the screw’s head type.

Use Threadlocker (Optional): For high-vibration environments, thread-locking compound can be applied for extra holding strength.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Are these screws compatible with plastic wall plugs?
A: While machine screws are best suited to threaded metal connections, they can be used with appropriate M6 wall plugs in some fixings. However, for wall installations, standard wood or masonry screws are more common.

Q2: Can I use these screws outdoors?
A: The zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor use. For long-term outdoor applications, stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized screws are recommended.

Q3: What tool do I need to install them?
A: Tool compatibility depends on the head style (not specified in the listing). Typically, M6 screws are either Phillips, slotted, or hex head, which can be tightened using a screwdriver or a wrench.

Q4: Can the screw length be trimmed?
A: Yes. If 40mm is too long for your application, the screw can be trimmed using a hacksaw or screw-cutting tool. Be sure to smooth any sharp edges after cutting.
