How to quickly identify the screw you need

DHPLM
Example: M8 L25 P1.25

1. Confirm the head type

Common screw head types include:

Hex Head
External Hex Flange Head
Socket Head
Countersunk Head
Button Head

2. Measure the key data

L

Screw length

Required. For countersunk screws, measure the total length.

M

Thread diameter

Required. Match this to the metric thread size.

P

Thread pitch

Required for M8 and larger thread diameters.

D

Head diameter

Optional, but important when the installation pocket limits the head size.

H

Head height

Measure if the visible or clearance height matters.

Send the accurate M, L, and optional D/H dimensions to customer service, and we can recommend a suitable titanium screw.
