Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does A2-70 mean?

A2 refers to the grade of stainless steel (typically 304), and 70 refers to the minimum tensile strength of 700 MPa.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for general outdoor use, but they should not be used in marine or highly salty environments, where A4 grade stainless steel would be required.

Is the box included?

Yes, this product is supplied in a box of 200 pieces.

What is the head diameter?

The head follows the ISO 7380-1 standard for an M8 screw, which typically has a head diameter of 14mm.

What type of driver do I need?

You will need a standard hex key or Allen wrench that fits an M8 socket button head screw.

Troubleshooting

Screw socket stripping during installation

Ensure you are using the correct size hex bit and that it is fully seated in the socket before applying force.

Screw will not thread into the hole

Verify the thread pitch of your workpiece matches the M8 metric standard and clear any debris or paint from the threads.

Head surface showing signs of oxidation

Clean the surface with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to remove contaminants; ensure the environment is not too harsh for A2 grade steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance with A2-70 stainless steel
  • Low-profile aesthetic suitable for visible mounting points
  • High torque capacity with internal hex socket drive
  • Standardized M8 threading ensures wide compatibility
  • Large pack size reduces per-unit cost

Cons

  • Requires specific Allen key/hex bit for installation
  • Not suitable for high-acid or marine environments compared to A4 grade
  • Button head profile is not flush like countersunk screws

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal installation, ensure you use a high-quality hex key or power drill bit specifically sized for the M8 socket. Do not over-torque, as this can potentially strip the internal socket or damage the threading in softer base materials like aluminum. While A2-70 stainless steel is highly durable, avoid contact with heavy-duty chemical cleaning agents that may affect the surface finish. For threaded connections, you may apply a light machine oil or anti-seize compound if the screws are intended for use in assemblies that require frequent removal.
