Esdec Mounting Screw M6 x 12mm Standard Finish: The Correct Fastener for Key Connections

Ensure the reliability and compliance of your Esdec solar installation by using genuine specified fasteners like this M6 x 12mm Mounting Screw in its standard finish. This screw size is frequently required for critical connections within Esdec systems, particularly for securing module clamps such as the FlatFix End Clamp or Universal Mid Clamp to the Base Profile in the FlatFix Fusion system. Adhering to the manufacturer's specifications for fasteners is vital for the mechanical strength needed to support your solar panels safely for decades, helping you secure long-term savings on energy costs.

Ensuring Secure Connections and Material Compatibility

Using the correct, genuine screw provides multiple benefits:

• Specified Dimensions: The M6 thread and 12mm length are precisely engineered for specific Esdec components, ensuring proper thread engagement and clamping force without bottoming out or being too short.
• Material Quality: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (typically A2, confirm via datasheet) chosen by Esdec for its corrosion resistance and strength, preventing fastener failure over time.
• Warranty Compliance: Utilising non-Esdec or incorrectly sized fasteners can compromise the system's structural integrity and void the comprehensive Esdec warranty.
• Standard Finish: The natural stainless steel finish matches standard aluminium or mill-finish components. Also available in Black for aesthetic matching. Compare with the longer M6x55 screw used for different connections.

Common Application: Module Clamps

The M6 x 12mm size is very commonly specified in Esdec systems (particularly FlatFix Fusion) for attaching the module clamps that hold the solar panels onto the underlying rail or profile. Correct torque application using the appropriate drive bit (check screw head type - Torx or Hex) is essential during this step.
