Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does “ZP” mean?
ZP stands for Zinc Plated. The screws and nuts are coated in a protective layer of zinc to help resist rust and corrosion, extending their usable life.

Q2: Are both screws and nuts included in each pack?
Yes. Each pack includes 8 machine screws and 8 matching nuts, providing a full set for your assembly or repair job.

Q3: Can these be used outdoors?
They are zinc plated and can be used in covered or mildly humid environments. For prolonged exposure to outdoor weather or wet conditions, stainless steel fasteners are recommended.

Q4: Are these suitable for use with plastic or wood?
Yes. While machine screws are typically used with metal, they can also be used to fasten plastic or wooden parts when a nut is used on the reverse side.

Q5: What tools are required for installation?
You’ll need a screwdriver appropriate for the screw head (often a Phillips or flat head) and a wrench, spanner, or pliers to hold and tighten the nut.

Q6: Can these be reused?
Yes. Provided they are not stripped or damaged during removal, the screws and nuts can be reused in future projects.

Q7: Are washers included?
No. Washers are not included in the pack. If needed for load distribution or vibration resistance, they can be purchased separately.

Q8: What is the difference between M4, M5, and M6?
These refer to the diameter of the screw in millimeters:

M4 = 4mm

M5 = 5mm

M6 = 6mm
The higher the number, the thicker and stronger the screw.

Q9: Are the nuts hexagonal?
Yes, the included nuts are standard hex nuts, compatible with standard wrenches or sockets.

Q10: Are these compliant with ISO or DIN standards?
These machine screws follow standard metric threading commonly used in ISO-compliant fastening applications, though specific certification is not stated.
