M14 Countersunk Socket Screws are manufactured to ISO 10642 / DIN 7991 with a coarse thread pitch of 2 mm. This page lists the controlling dimensions for the M14 size — head geometry, width across flats, matching spanner size — together with the clearance hole, tapping drill and tightening torque used at assembly.
M14 Dimensional Row (ISO 10642 / DIN 7991)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Hex key s (mm) | Countersink angle (deg) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M14 | 2.0 | 30.0 | 8.4 | 10.0 | 90 | ISO 10642 / DIN 7991 |
Spanner & Drive for M14 Countersunk Socket Screws
The hex socket for M14 Countersunk Socket Screws is shown in the spec table — use the matching Allen / hex key (an ISO 2936 hex key set covers the full range). For a one-off, a T-handle key and a calibrated arm will do. For a batch, the only way to get the same preload twice is a torque-controlled driver.
Hole Sizes for M14
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 2 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 15.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 12 mm |
Tightening Torque for M14
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 134 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 197 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 231 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M14
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 115 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 67 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 96 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 112 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 92 kN |
Proof load = tensile stress area × the proof stress Sp of the class, per ISO 898-1 — Sp is a lower figure than the yield stress Rp0.2 and the two are not interchangeable. The stress area is computed from this size's own diameter and pitch, so a fine-pitch designation gives the fine-pitch figure. Design the joint so the working preload stays below the proof load of the class selected.
Installation Tips for M14 Countersunk Socket Screws
- Use a quality Allen key fully seated in the socket — partial engagement is the most common cause of stripped sockets at this size.
- For countersunk and button-head variants, chamfer the through-hole to seat the head flush without preloading the head/shank fillet.
Mating Parts for M14
For M14, pair with a M14 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M14 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.

Need countersunk socket screws in a size this table does not list?
This page covers M14 countersunk socket screws. Material and finish are usually what drives a special — a grade the standard part is not stocked in, or a coating chosen against a salt-spray figure instead of a default. Made by cold heading or warm forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
