Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162) screw size
M3 / M4 · 8 mm long
Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162) takes M3 and M4 metric screws, 8 mm long.
There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including display bracket strap screws (M3) and pan-head cross-recess frame assembly screws (M4).
Head and drive, as the sources state them: pan head.
2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (docs.elotouch.com).
For reference, M3 is 3 mm across the threads at 0.5 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy
- VESA holes are threaded inserts in the back cover; if a screw stops early, back it out rather than forcing it, because a bottomed-out screw can crack the panel housing.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M4, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- 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: for pan head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The record states 8 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 / M4
- M3 (3.0mm, 0.5mm pitch) is not #6-32 UNC (~3.5mm) — they look identical and cross-thread, the single most common PC-building mistake.
- Telescope thumbscrews are sold in a wide non-metric legacy range too (1/4-20, 8-32, 10-32 on many Meade/Celestron mounts), so metric M3/M4 fitment applies mainly to newer/international accessory ecosystems (SkyWatcher, generic 1.25" accessories) and should not be assumed universal.
- Display mounts mix systems: the screen side is metric M4/M6, but the wall side of many mounts uses imperial wood screws such as #14 x 2.5in.
- M4 and 6-32 UNC share a nominal diameter with different pitch — a classic cross-thread in US-market kits.

Questions about Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162) screws
- What size screw does Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162) use?
- M3 × 8 mm for display bracket strap screws; M4 × 8 mm for pan-head cross-recess frame assembly screws.
- How long are the screws in Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162)?
- The record gives 8 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M3 screw?
- 0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162)?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M3, Phillips heads normally take PH1 and Torx heads T10; socket heads take a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Elo self-service stand (E796965 / E797162)?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 8mm, which matches the length in the records above.
