60112768 Six Point Socket Screw | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Six point socket screw supplied as a genuine Volvo Penta part, listed at approximately 0.201 kg. Check the thread size, length and drive size against the screw you removed before ordering.

⚙️ Key Features

• Six-point (Allen-type) internal socket drive, tightened with a matching key or socket rather than a spanner
• Approximately 0.201 kg
• One specific thread size, length and drive size per part number — confirm against the screw removed before ordering
• On some applications seals a fuel or oil passage as well as clamping it

🔌 Function

A fastener with a six-point internal socket drive, tightened with a matching key or socket to clamp two components together; on some applications it also seals the oil or fuel passage it passes through.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• A rounded, chewed or corroded head that a key or socket will no longer grip
• Fuel, oil or coolant weeping from a joint that will not hold its torque
• A screw found loose, backed out or missing, often with witness marks around its seat
• A stretched or necked thread, or a head that keeps turning without tightening because the thread has failed
• Corrosion bloom around the head, or a screw that snaps on removal

🛠️ Service Notes

• Use a socket or key that engages the head fully and squarely; a worn or part-inserted tool rounds the flats and turns a simple job into a drilling job
• Clean the threads and the seating face, and check the screw for stretched or corroded threads and a damaged head — renew rather than reuse anything doubtful
• Where the original was fitted with a thread-locking or sealing compound, or with a washer or seal, fit the same again; many of these screws seal a fuel or oil passage as well as clamping it
• Tighten to the figure and sequence given in the workshop manual for your engine, working evenly across a multi-screw joint rather than pulling one screw fully down at a time
• A smear of a suitable marine anti-seize on exposed threads makes the next removal far easier, but keep it off threads meant to be locked or sealed
