FAQs

What material are these bolts made from?

These bolts are made from premium A2 304 stainless steel, known for its durability and excellent corrosion resistance.

What does ISO 7380 mean?

ISO 7380 is an international standard that specifies the dimensions and requirements for button head cap screws, ensuring consistent quality and interchangeability.

What size Allen wrench do I need for the M6x25mm bolts?

You will typically need a 4mm Allen wrench (hex key) for M6 size bolts.

Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, due to their A2 304 stainless steel construction, they are highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for most outdoor applications.

Can I use these bolts for structural load-bearing applications?

These bolts are generally used for medium-duty fastening. For critical structural load-bearing applications, consult engineering specifications and consider bolts specifically designed for such purposes.

What is the difference between A2 and A4 stainless steel?

A2 stainless steel (like 304) is a general-purpose grade suitable for many applications. A4 stainless steel (like 316) contains molybdenum, offering superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for marine or highly aggressive chemical environments.

How should I store these bolts to prevent damage?

Store bolts in a dry, cool place, preferably in their original packaging or a compartmentalized container to prevent scratching and ensure the hex socket remains clean.

Troubleshooting

Bolt will not thread into the hole.

Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. Verify that the hole is tapped with the correct M6 thread or that a compatible M6 nut is being used. Check that the bolt is not cross-threaded.

Allen wrench slips during tightening.

Confirm you are using the correct size Allen wrench (4mm for M6). Ensure the hex socket on the bolt head is clean and not damaged. Apply firm, consistent pressure.

Bolt head is stripping.

Immediately stop tightening. If possible, use a bolt extractor. Ensure you are using the correct size Allen wrench and applying force squarely to the head.

Bolt appears to be rusting.

While A2 304 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, extreme conditions can cause surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a protective coating if the environment is particularly aggressive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade A2 304 stainless steel for excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Meets ISO 7380 standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
  • Hex socket design simplifies installation and removal.
  • Suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, from industrial to personal projects.
  • Fully threaded for maximum holding power.

Cons

  • Specific thread pitch and length (M6x25mm) may not be suitable for all applications.
  • Requires a specific Allen wrench (hex key) for installation.
  • While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme chemical environments might affect longevity.
  • Not typically designed for shear load applications where bending strength is paramount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install these bolts, ensure you have the correct size Allen wrench (hex key), typically a 4mm wrench for M6 bolts. Insert the bolt into the pre-drilled hole and tighten until snug. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or damage the material being fastened.

Compatibility: These bolts are designed for use with standard M6 threaded nuts or tapped holes. Ensure the material thickness and hole size are appropriate for a 25mm length bolt.

Care: To maintain their corrosion resistance, periodically inspect the bolts. Clean off any dirt or debris with a dry cloth. For heavily exposed applications, a light application of a non-petroleum based lubricant can help preserve the finish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
