Viking Stainless Steel Screw for item #K-1700-S - T205850

Viking Electronics T205850 Stainless Steel Replacement Screw

Overview

The Viking Electronics T205850 is a genuine replacement screw designed for the K-1700-S series stainless steel entry phone faceplate. If a mounting or faceplate screw is stripped, lost during service, or damaged in a corrosive outdoor environment, T205850 provides the exact-spec fastener to restore a complete, factory-correct installation — no field improvisation with mismatched hardware.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Viking Electronics K-1700-S stainless steel entry phone. The K-1700-S faceplate is 14-gauge 316 stainless steel, rated for outdoor and harsh-environment deployment, so the replacement screw must match the corrosion resistance and thread spec of the original. Do not substitute standard zinc or zinc-plated fasteners — they will corrode and seize in outdoor or high-humidity installations. The K-1775-3 Series video entry phones share the same faceplate family; confirm your specific model's hardware spec against the K-1775-3 Series manual before ordering. Based on the K-1700-S faceplate design, the standard mounting screw for this series is a 6-32 x 3/4" T-10 Torx head.

Installation Notes

A T-10 Torx driver is required — do not substitute a Phillips or flat-blade driver, which will cam out and damage the head. When installing on outdoor access control and entry phone applications rated to -30°F, apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads before seating, particularly in freeze-thaw climates. The K-1700-S faceplate operates across -30°F to 150°F; use stainless-matched fasteners throughout to prevent galvanic corrosion at the faceplate interface. Torque to snug-plus-quarter-turn by hand — overtorquing 14-gauge stainless sheet can deform the mounting boss.
