Product Information

Full details

The Unifix Brass Hexagon Setscrews (M12 x 60) are designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable, corrosion-resistant fastening solutions for construction and assembly projects. Crafted from high-quality brass and adhering to the DIN 933 industry standard, these screws offer exceptional durability and a secure hold, though they are specifically engineered for applications where brass material properties are required rather than high-tensile steel.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these screws magnetic?

No, brass is a non-ferrous alloy and is not magnetic, which is useful in applications involving sensitive electronic equipment.

Can these be used for heavy structural steel work?

Brass is softer than high-tensile steel. While durable, please consult a structural engineer to ensure brass meets the specific tensile requirements for your load-bearing application.

What does DIN 933 mean?

DIN 933 is a German industrial standard that defines the dimensions and properties of hexagon head screws with full threading.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the corrosion resistance of brass makes these screws an excellent choice for outdoor or high-humidity environments.

What is the diameter and length of this screw?

This model is an M12 diameter screw with a 60mm length.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

No, a standard spanner or socket wrench fitting the hexagon head size is sufficient for installation.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to tighten

Check for debris in the threads or ensure the hole is correctly tapped to M12 specification.

Hexagon head is stripping

Ensure the spanner or socket is the exact correct size and fully seated on the head before applying torque.

Screw thread is binding

Verify alignment; if binding persists, back the screw out and check for thread damage or improper thread pitch alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation
  • Easy to tighten using standard wrench tools
  • Complies with recognized DIN 933 industrial standards
  • Durable brass construction offers long-lasting performance

Cons

  • Brass is softer than high-tensile steel, limiting use in extreme load-bearing applications
  • Specific M12 x 60 sizing may not be suitable for smaller precision electronics
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard galvanized or zinc-plated steel screws

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you have a standard M12-compatible spanner or socket wrench. When inserting the screw, verify that the hole is free of debris to prevent cross-threading the brass. If threading into metal, ensure the receiving hole is pre-tapped to the correct M12 pitch to avoid damaging the softer brass threads. While these screws are naturally resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to keep them clean and dry before use. If installed in exterior settings, periodically inspect the fastening to ensure no surface oxidation has formed, though brass is significantly more stable than alternative ferrous materials.
