Project 5 Screws V2A M6

FAQ

What is the Project 5 Screw V2A M6 used for?

The V2A screw with M6 thread is used in watersports as a reliable fastener, for example on fins, foot straps, handles, or other attachments on kite and surfboards.

What does V2A mean in the screw?

V2A stands for stainless steel of grade 1.4301 (A2) and designates a rust-free, seawater-resistant steel grade that is specially suited for permanent use in and around water.

Is the screw suitable for use in salt water?

Yes, V2A stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and reliably withstands both fresh and salt water, so you can use the screw without hesitation at the coast.

Does the M6 screw fit any standard thread?

The screw is designed for a metric M6 thread. Check before purchase that your board, fin, or attachment also has an M6 internal thread.

How do I properly care for the stainless steel screw?

Rinse the screw with fresh water after use in salt water and dry it. Occasionally greasing the thread protects against seizing and makes it easier to loosen later.

Can I reuse the screw multiple times?

Yes, high-quality V2A screws can be screwed in and out multiple times, as long as the thread is undamaged and there is no corrosion on the flanks.

What advantages does stainless steel offer over galvanized steel?

Unlike galvanized steel, V2A stainless steel does not rust, is significantly more durable with constant contact with water, and retains its shape and strength even after many sessions.

Can I also get the screw individually as a spare part?

Yes, the Project 5 Screw V2A M6 is sold individually at the Surfshop Fehmarn as a replacement and accessory part for kite and surf equipment.
