Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between an M4 bolt and a 4 mm hex bolt?
A: "M4" refers to the metric thread diameter (4mm). A "4 mm hex bolt" specifically describes an M4 bolt with a hexagonal head. The terms are often used interchangeably in this context.
Q2: What size hex key (Allen key) do I need for a 4 mm hex bolt?
A: A standard 3 mm hex key is used to drive an M4 hex head cap screw. It is crucial to use the correct size to prevent rounding the socket.
Q3: Can I get these bolts in stainless steel for outdoor use?
A: Absolutely. We offer A2-304 and A4-316 stainless steel 4 mm hex bolts, with A4-316 providing excellent resistance to corrosion in marine and chemical environments.
Q4: What is the typical minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ is low, often one carton, to accommodate prototype projects and small-batch production. Significant volume discounts are available for large-scale orders.
Q5: Do you provide certificates of conformity?
A: Yes. We can provide Mill Test Certificates (MTCs) or Certificates of Conformity (CoC) with shipments upon request, detailing the material grade, mechanical properties, and compliance with relevant standards.
