Product Information

Full details

The Unifix Grade 8.8 HT Hexagon Setscrews are engineered for professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring reliable, high-strength fastening for construction and engineering projects. These M6 x 60 screws deliver superior tensile performance thanks to their Grade 8.8 steel construction, though users should note that the black finish is prone to surface oxidation if not properly treated in humid or exposed outdoor environments.

FAQs

What does Grade 8.8 mean?

Grade 8.8 indicates the mechanical properties of the steel, specifically a tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa.

Are these screws fully threaded?

Yes, as they conform to the DIN 933 standard, they are fully threaded from the head to the tip.

Can I use these outdoors?

They can be used outdoors if kept dry or treated with a protective oil, but they are not rust-proof and are best suited for indoor or sheltered environments.

What tool size is required?

M6 bolts typically require a 10mm wrench or socket for the hexagon head.

Are washers included?

No, the screws are supplied as the fasteners only; washers should be purchased separately based on the specific assembly requirements.

Troubleshooting

Screw binds or feels tight during installation

Check the tapped hole for debris or cross-threading; re-tap if necessary and ensure the screw is properly aligned.

Surface rust appears on the screw head

Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a protective rust-inhibiting coating or light machine oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural integrity for load-bearing applications
  • Standardized threading for high compatibility
  • Easy to install with common hand tools
  • Excellent value for high-tensile hardware

Cons

  • Black finish requires rust protection in damp areas
  • Not intended for marine or highly corrosive environments
  • Requires specific torque management to prevent thread stripping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, use a correctly calibrated torque wrench to avoid over-tightening. These screws are compatible with standard M6 nuts and washers. Because the black oxide finish lacks the corrosion resistance of zinc or stainless steel, it is recommended to apply a thin coat of machine oil or a corrosion inhibitor if the screws are to be used in unheated garages or semi-exposed locations. For critical structural joints, always consult engineering specifications to ensure Grade 8.8 is sufficient for the load requirements.
