6G x 13 mm Security Torx Self-Tapping Screw, 304 Stainless Steel - YCXTA26GX13
Available
Made in 304 (A2) stainless steel, the Security CSK Post Torx Self Tapping Screw is a Torx security screw with a Torx recess that includes a centre pin, so it needs a matching security Torx bit to drive it. It has a self-tapping thread for thin sheet metal, plastics and timber..
This listing has 16 variants covering sizes 6G to 10G and lengths 13 mm to 50 mm. Every size comes in packs of 100.
The A2 (304) stainless material suits indoor, fresh water and typical outdoor use. Where the fastening is exposed to salt air, pool chemicals or marine conditions, A4 (316) is the grade to use instead. Gauge sizes are shown as a number followed by G. On this range 6G is 3.5 mm, 8G is 4.2 mm, 10G is 4.8 mm, 12G is 5.5 mm and 14G is 6.3 mm, as listed by the supplier.
Austenitic stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, although cold-worked parts can show weak magnetism. Use stainless washers and nuts with stainless fasteners, so the whole joint is made of the same material.

Selecting the right option
A security screw only deters casual tampering. A matching security Torx bit is needed to fit or remove it. Check the variant for the bit size. Drill a pilot hole and keep the driving speed low.
