Viking T206680 Bronze 6-32x1.25in Stainless Steel Hex Screw

Viking Electronics T206680 Bronze Finish Stainless Steel Mounting Screw

Overview

The T206680 is a 6-32 x 1.25-inch hex drive screw in a bronze finish, manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a #4 brushed finish — the same grade used on Viking's E-32T series faceplates. When installing a Viking Electronics IP intercom in a coastal, high-humidity, or outdoor environment where corrosion is a real concern, mismatched fasteners are a common oversight. Using a lower-grade screw against a 316 SS faceplate creates a galvanic mismatch that accelerates corrosion at the mounting point. The T206680 eliminates that risk by matching the faceplate material and finish. The bronze tone is engineered to blend with the brushed stainless surface rather than stand out as a visible contrast point on a finished IP intercom installation.

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Viking E-32T series IP intercoms, including models in the E-32T family that use a 5" x 5" x 2.25" 14-gauge 316 stainless steel faceplate. The 6-32 thread pattern and 1.25-inch length are matched to the faceplate mounting geometry of the E-32T. If you are sourcing fasteners for other Viking entry phone series — such as the E-10A or E-20B analog door phones — verify the thread spec against those faceplates before assuming compatibility; those are distinct product lines with different enclosures. For outdoor E-32T deployments leveraging PoE network infrastructure, all mounting hardware including fasteners should be rated for the installation environment — the E-32T itself is rated IP66 in its EWP configuration, and fastener corrosion resistance should match that rating for a durable install. Consult the access control hardware category for complementary mounting accessories.

Installation Notes

The hex drive head requires a matching hex key — verify driver size before going to site; a stripped 316 SS screw is difficult to extract without damaging the faceplate. Operating temperature range for the E-32T system is -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C), and the 316 stainless construction of this fastener is rated across that range without degradation. In high-humidity environments (up to 100% RH in EWP configurations), 316 SS provides meaningful corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 SS or zinc-plated hardware.
