This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing robust fastening solutions. The key benefit is the high tensile strength and corrosion resistance of these Grade 8.8 zinc setscrews, ensuring secure and long-lasting connections. A minor caveat is that they are sold in a pack of 10, which may be more than required for smaller tasks. This product features a pack of ten M14 x 50mm hexagon headed bolts, fully threaded and manufactured to DIN 933 standards, offering durability and ease of installation.

Grade 8.8 is a metric coarse thread standard indicating the bolt's minimum tensile strength (800 MPa) and yield strength (640 MPa). It signifies a high-strength bolt suitable for structural and mechanical applications.
Zinc plating provides a protective barrier against corrosion and rust, significantly extending the fastener's lifespan, especially when exposed to moisture or environmental elements.
Yes, these setscrews are fully threaded, meaning the thread runs along the entire length of the bolt shank, providing maximum grip and load-bearing capacity.
Yes, the zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh or marine environments, stainless steel might be a more durable option.
You will need a standard M14 wrench or socket to tighten the hexagon head.
The pitch is 2mm. This refers to the distance between the crests of adjacent threads on the bolt.
While technically possible, cutting these high-strength bolts can be difficult and may damage the thread. It is generally recommended to use bolts of the correct length for your application.
Ensure you are using an M14 thread. Check that the hole is properly tapped and free from obstructions or cross-threading. Verify the screw is not damaged.
Use the correct size wrench or socket that fits snugly. Apply steady, even pressure. If the head is already damaged, a bolt extractor might be needed.
While zinc plating offers protection, it's not impervious. For highly corrosive environments, consider using stainless steel fasteners. For minor surface rust, it may not affect structural integrity but should be monitored.
Ensure the correct nut or thread is used. Check material thickness and ensure enough thread engagement. Consider using a locking washer or thread locker for vibration-prone applications.
Setup:
These setscrews are designed for use with corresponding M14 nuts and M14 threaded holes. Ensure the mating hole or nut is clean and free of debris. Use a standard M14 wrench or socket to tighten the hexagon head. For optimal performance and safety, always tighten to the appropriate torque specification for the materials being joined and the load requirements of the application.
Compatibility:
Compatible with M14 nuts and any material with a pre-drilled and tapped M14 thread. The 50mm length is suitable for joining materials with a combined thickness of approximately 20-35mm, depending on the desired thread engagement in the receiving material. The Grade 8.8 steel is compatible with most common construction and engineering materials, including wood, metal, and plastics.
Care:
While zinc-plated, prolonged immersion in highly corrosive environments may eventually lead to degradation. Periodically inspect fasteners in critical applications for any signs of rust or damage. If removed, clean any dirt or grease before reinstallation. Store in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the zinc coating.
