Invacare Action3 NG manual wheelchair frame fastener screw size
M4 · length not stated in the sources

It is listed for service manual torque table: M4 1.5-3 Nm.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from invacare.co.uk.
For reference, M4 is 4 mm across the threads at 0.7 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Where the manufacturer publishes a torque value, use a torque driver rather than feel.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 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.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M4 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T20 for Torx, and a 3 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
Common mix-ups with M4
- Manual gives torque only, not screw length/drive type — verify physically before sourcing replacements.
- Camera rig/cage accessories (SmallRig, Wooden Camera/Metabones) frequently mix M4 structural screws with 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 imperial mounting points on the same product — verify which specific fastener a manual is referencing before ordering replacements.
