Dowel screw SCHAERER Spare Parts 3322562000

A dowel screw joins two components with a threaded rod that screws into each side, aligning them precisely without visible fixings. The double-ended thread pulls the parts together, creating a rigid connection that resists vibration and misalignment. This method is used inside professional catering equipment where panels, frames or internal assemblies must stay square and stable under constant use.

To fit the screw, the operator threads one end into a pre-drilled hole in the first component, then aligns the second component over the exposed thread and screws it on until the parts meet. The brass material cuts easily and does not gall, so the threads engage smoothly even in tight spaces. Once tightened, the screw remains hidden, leaving a clean surface while maintaining structural integrity.

The M5/5.9/4.1x42 designation indicates a metric screw with a 5 mm nominal thread diameter, a 5.9 mm head diameter, a 4.1 mm shank diameter and a 42 mm overall length. These dimensions ensure compatibility with the tapped holes and clearances designed into SCHAERER equipment. Brass resists corrosion from moisture and cleaning chemicals, prolonging the life of the joint in a kitchen environment.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the exposed surfaces of the assembled parts; the screw itself is internal and not routinely accessed. The article is listed in the SCHAERER spare-parts catalogue under mechanical fasteners for internal assembly.
