FAQs
What does A2-70 mean?
A2-70 refers to the grade of stainless steel. 'A2' indicates the material is Austenitic stainless steel (similar to 304 grade), and '70' signifies a minimum tensile strength of 700 N/mm².
Are these screws magnetic?
A2 (304 grade) stainless steel is generally non-magnetic in its annealed state, but can become slightly magnetic after cold working, such as during the manufacturing process of the screws.
What is the difference between DIN 912 and ISO 4762?
DIN 912 is a German standard for socket head cap screws, while ISO 4762 is the equivalent international standard. They are largely interchangeable in terms of dimensions and specifications.
Can I use these outdoors?
Yes, the A2-70 stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
What tools do I need to install these screws?
You will need a standard M8 Allen key, which is typically 6mm in size.
How many screws are in a box?
This product is sold in a box of 20 screws.
Troubleshooting
Screw will not thread properly
Verify that the receiving hole is correctly tapped with an M8 thread. Ensure no debris is present in the threads. Check that you are using the correct screw (M8 x 25).
Allen key slips in the socket head
Ensure you are using the correct size Allen key (typically 6mm for M8). Check if the socket head is damaged or excessively worn. If worn, the screw may need replacement.
Screw head strips during tightening
Use a torque wrench to apply the correct amount of force. Do not overtighten. Ensure the Allen key is fully seated in the socket head before turning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the mating hole is tapped correctly to an M8 thread size.
Use a standard M8 Allen key (typically 6mm for M8 screws) to drive the screw.
Apply appropriate torque to secure the component, avoiding overtightening which could damage the threads or the material being fastened.
Compatibility:
These screws are compatible with any M8 tapped hole or nut conforming to standard metric thread specifications.
They are designed to work with standard M8 washers for load distribution if required.
Adheres to DIN 912 standards, ensuring interchangeability with other DIN 912 compatible fasteners.
Care:
While A2-70 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments may eventually lead to staining or minor degradation. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
