BMC RESmart CPAP machine screw size
M3 · 10 mm long
Our records put BMC RESmart CPAP machine on M3 screws, 10 mm long.
It is listed for four M3 x 10mm screws fix the internal shield, plus an M3 x 10mm fan assembly screw.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from ukcpap.co.uk.
An M3 screw is 3 mm in diameter with a 0.5 mm pitch, tapped with a 2.5 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Keep material and finish the same as the original (often stainless) on equipment that is cleaned or sterilised.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 10 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3
- CPAP teardowns rarely state thread size; M3 here is inferred from photos and small-appliance convention, not a spec sheet.
- Pond/aquarium equipment manuals aimed at consumers rarely specify exact thread pitch or length for internal fasteners, since these are considered non-user-serviceable; distributor-level assembly/service manuals (e.g., Maytronics internal documents) are a better source than end-user guides.
