GE HealthCare anesthesia delivery machine screw size
M2.5 · 6 mm long
If you are replacing a screw on GE HealthCare anesthesia delivery machine, the thread is M2.5, 6 mm long.
Where it is used: "Screw M2.5-0.45 x 6 Pan Posidrive" listed under GE HealthCare's official service parts store, category Anesthesia Delivery.
Head and drive, as the source states them: pan head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from services.gehealthcare.in.
For reference, M2.5 is 2.5 mm across the threads at 0.45 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #3-48 / #4-40 (2.51 / 2.84 mm) — #4-40 is the common US stand-in and it will NOT thread in.

How to check the screw before you buy
- For medical and lab equipment, use the manufacturer's replacement part where one is specified; the thread size here helps identify it, not certify it.
- Diameter: across the threads an M2.5 screw measures about 2.5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.45 mm from one thread crest to the next (22.22 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 6 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 M2.5 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T8 for Torx, and a 2 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 M2.5 is about 45-70 N·cm into metal threads and 20-35 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M2.5
- Commonly confused with imperial 4-40 screws in older medical equipment, but modern GE/Mindray devices explicitly list M2.5 metric threads.
- M2.5 pitch is 0.45mm vs M3's 0.5mm and M2's 0.4mm — forcing the wrong one strips plastic bosses instantly.
