OVERVIEW

Reliable M6 x 20mm Stainless Screw for Shop & Fabrication

When you are in the middle of a fabrication project or a critical repair, having the right hardware on hand is the difference between a job well done and a frustrating delay. The Fastners TFTS M6 X 20.0 SS18-8 is a versatile and tough screw that belongs in every welder's and mechanic's parts bin. Made from robust 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener is built to withstand the harsh conditions of the workshop and the field. Whether you are mounting brackets, securing panels, or fixing a piece of shop equipment, this M6 screw provides the hold you need with the durability of stainless steel.

One of the standout features of this fastener is its Thread Forming Tapping Screw (TFTS) capability. If you have ever stripped a thread or didn't have the right tap on hand, you know the struggle. These screws are designed to roll their own threads into a drilled hole, creating a super-tight fit without the need for a separate tapping operation. This not only saves you time but also creates a connection that resists vibrating loose—perfect for machinery that rattles or equipment that moves. The 20mm length is a standard size that fits a wide variety of brackets and sheet metal thicknesses, making it a go-to size for general repairs.

Corrosion is the enemy of any long-term repair, especially in outdoor or humid environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction means you don't have to worry about these screws rusting out a few months down the line. They stay bright, clean, and strong, ensuring that your project looks professional and holds together for years. From fixing welding jigs to assembling custom carts, the Fastners TFTS M6 X 20.0 SS18-8 is the reliable choice for professionals who demand quality hardware that works as hard as they do.

Why Choose This Fastener?

  • No Tapping Required: Drive it into a pilot hole and let the screw do the work.
  • Rust Proof: 18-8 Stainless stands up to water, weather, and shop chemicals.
  • Secure Hold: Resists backing out under vibration better than standard screws.

FAQ

SS18-8 refers to 18-8 Stainless Steel, which contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is chemically equivalent to 304 stainless steel and offers excellent corrosion resistance.

No, this is a Thread Forming Tapping Screw (TFTS). It is designed to form its own threads in a pre-drilled pilot hole, eliminating the need for a separate tapping tool.

The screw has a length of 20.0mm. Depending on the head type, this is typically measured from under the head to the tip.

18-8 stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, though it may become slightly magnetic due to the cold-working process during manufacturing.

Yes, the 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

The pilot hole size depends on the material thickness and hardness, but generally, for an M6 thread forming screw, a hole slightly smaller than 6mm (typically around 5.4mm to 5.6mm) is required. Consult a drill chart for specific material recommendations.
