Radiator screw

[Daniel123dk]

SO, I Hardly cant even screw out my current radiator screws, so im gonna buy some with an allen head. Ive read that my XTX360 rad uses a M3 DIN965 Certified screw, what does that do over a M3 DIN912 one?

Thanks in advance :-)

I use a ton of other screws i got from the tool box as long as it wont hit the  pipes or anything after the mounting bracket its fine though

well thats my 2 cents

Judging by a quick google the difference is that the DIN965 one is a counter sunk screw ( V shaped head) and hence will be flush with the rad (I think). A DIN912 has a cylindrical head and will stick out a bit. M3 refers to the size. I'd go with the 965 one since you found that's what it uses.

use can use any cap style (DIN requirement) for radiator screws. but the

needs are M3 thread by 30mm long. preferably a coated steel or stainless. the

aluminum/copper screws can easily damage/get damaged.

So, initially i could use the 912 one? the threats isnt different or what?

So as long as its named M3, the threats is the same size?

Yes, as long as the screw is M3, the threads will be the same.

Yes, like @airdeano said the thread is set by it being M3.
