Sanus VHWTV-C universal TV mounting hardware pack screw size
M4 / M5 / M6 · length not stated in the sources
Sanus VHWTV-C universal TV mounting hardware pack takes M4, M5 and M6 metric screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
There are 3 separate fitment records for it, including one of four VESA screw options (M4/M5/M6/M8); length depends on spacer stack (M4), one of four VESA screw options; only one size fits a given TV (M5) and large-TV VESA screw option in the universal hardware pack (M6).
3 of the 3 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (sanus.com).
An M4 screw is 4 mm in diameter with a 0.7 mm pitch, tapped with a 3.3 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

One row per fitment record. Head, drive are shown only where the source states them; pitch is the ISO coarse pitch for the thread.

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 M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M5 / M6, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- 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.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M4 is about 2.0-3.0 N·m into metal threads and 0.8-1.4 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M4 / M5 / M6
- VESA fixes the hole pattern and max thread depth, not screw length — length depends on the panel back and any spacers.
- Concept2 rowers/ergs look metric-friendly but use imperial 1/4-20 hardware throughout — M6 will NOT thread in; do not force it.
- VESA displays over 50kg move up to M8 x 1.25, which is outside metric M6 hardware - don't force an M6 bolt into a heavy-panel mount.

Questions about Sanus VHWTV-C universal TV mounting hardware pack screws
- What size screw does Sanus VHWTV-C universal TV mounting hardware pack use?
- M4 for one of four VESA screw options (M4/M5/M6/M8); length depends on spacer stack; M5 for one of four VESA screw options; only one size fits a given TV; M6 for large-TV VESA screw option in the universal hardware pack.
- How long are the screws in Sanus VHWTV-C universal TV mounting hardware pack?
- None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).
- What is the thread pitch of an M4 screw?
- 0.7 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M4 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 3.3 mm and the normal clearance hole is 4.5 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Sanus VHWTV-C universal TV mounting hardware pack?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M4, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T20; socket heads take a 3 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M4?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same. Use a true M4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
