FAQs
What material are these screws made of?
These screws are made from Stainless Steel (A2), which offers good corrosion resistance.
What type of screwdriver do I need for these screws?
You will need a TX20 driver bit or screwdriver for the countersunk socket head.
What does 'M4' mean?
M4 indicates the metric thread size, meaning the screw has a nominal diameter of 4 millimeters.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Stainless Steel (A2) construction makes them suitable for many outdoor applications due to their resistance to corrosion.
What is the purpose of a countersunk head?
A countersunk head is designed to sit flush with the surface of the material it is fastening into, providing a smooth and clean finish.
How many screws are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 screws.
What standard do these screws conform to?
These screws conform to the ISO 965 standard for metric screw threads.
Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation
Ensure you are using the correct TX20 driver bit and that it is fully seated in the screw head. Apply consistent, even pressure during tightening and avoid over-tightening.
Screw does not thread properly
Verify that the hole is correctly sized for an M4 thread. Check for any debris or damage in the thread of the screw or the receiving hole. Ensure the screw is aligned straight with the thread.
Corrosion or staining observed
While A2 stainless steel is resistant, extreme environments can cause surface staining. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel (A2) construction ensures longevity.
- TX20 drive offers good torque transfer and prevents slippage.
- ISO 965 compliance guarantees precise fit and thread engagement.
- Countersunk head allows for a flush finish in appropriate holes.
- Sold in convenient packs of 20.
Cons
- Requires a specific TX20 driver bit, which may not be universally available.
- Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring larger screw sizes.
- Countersunk design necessitates pre-drilled and potentially countersunk holes.
- Limited to M4 thread size, restricting its use to specific component thicknesses.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use these M4 screws, ensure you have a compatible TX20 driver bit or screwdriver. The screw requires a pre-drilled hole of the correct diameter for an M4 thread. If a flush finish is desired, the mounting surface should be countersunk to accommodate the screw's head.
Compatibility: These screws are designed for M4 threaded holes or nuts. They conform to ISO 965 standards, ensuring compatibility with other metric fasteners meeting the same specifications. Ensure the material you are fastening into can accept an M4 thread.
Care: Stainless Steel (A2) is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion. However, to maintain their appearance and performance, avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Store in a dry environment to prevent potential staining or oxidation over prolonged periods.
