Type F fillet shall be supplied for all parts unless the Type 'U' is specified on the Utility drawing or product
standard.
4. LENGTH
4.1 NORMAL LENGTH

The normal length of a machine screw or a machine screw and washer assembly is the distance from
the bearing face to the furthest end of the threaded portion including any chamfer or radius but excluding
a special feature such as a dog point.
4.2 TOLERANCE OF LENGTH

The length of machine screws and machine screw and washer assemblies shall be within the tolerance

based upon the max pitch diameter for 6h.
April 2019
This update aligns “k max” and “e min” for WA 900 and the product standards (WA,WB,WC and WD) per ISO
15071. The December 2017 and February 2017 revisions to “k max” and “e min” were driven by alignment
between dimensions in various product standards to WA 900 and instead of aligning both to ISO 15071.
November 2018
Added Normal length definition and tolerances.
Defined pilot points as a requirement unless stated otherwise per drawing.
Added NP and SNP point dimensions and details.
Corrected r2 to r2 in accordance with ISO15071.
Editorial
Added Section 13 Partial Threaded, Shoulderless, Reduced Shank Hexagon Flange Bolts.
December 2017

February 2017
In Table 6, the M12 k MAX dimension was corrected to 11.9 MAX and the M14 “e” value was corrected to 19.68.
November 2016
Added ISO 4014 and ISO 4017 to Section 2
Deleted ISO Type F illustration from Fig. 7
Added Fig. 9.
Added description for measuring ‘a’ dimension for bolt&washer assemblies
December 2011
Table 7, Note 2 – clarified minimum hole size requirement
August 2009
Updated the reference to ISO 6157 in Section 2 was updated to ISO 6157-3.
In Table 3, the M10 dw dimension was corrected to 13.63.
March 2007
In the September 2006 update the following note was added to Figure 7 and Figure 8:
Note: The fillet type is not an optional requirement, Type F fillet shall be supplied for all parts unless the type 'U'
is specified on the part print or product standard.
Note: An audit of current production indicated that Type F fillets are normal production , type U is only being
supplied when specifically requested. Prior to the clarification, if any part is being supplied with a type U undercut
that is not specifically requested the PPAP process shall be used to change to type F and comply with this
standard.
The following note was added to 5.2:
The fillet type use for bolt and washer assemblies shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer provided all other
requirements of the standard are met.
Tables 7 & 8 were combined, and the ISO reference column was added.
November 2005
In the November 2005 update, diagrams and tables showing the head dimensions were included in the standard.
The intent is to make this information more readily available to our Design Engineers.
Note Type B head style is ISO Type U. Type A head style is ISO Type F. Type C head style is the ISO Type F
permissible alternative.

February 2004 Order Number: W2180368
Page 15 of 16
WA 900 Date: 2019-04-24

In the February 2004 update, any requirement that was in line with ISO standards has been replaced by direct
reference to the relevant ISO standard.
In conjunction with the February update all associated WA product standards have been updated. The principal
update was the removal of the full shank option from the product standard diagrams to remove confusion.
WA 900 Appendix 'A' is no longer required because the gauging of hexagon headed products is now in
accordance with ISO 4014 Product Grade A.
February 2003
This standard has been updated to improve quality, and help address complexity issues within the Ford Motor
Company Worldwide Fastener Standards. Major areas of change and implementation requirements included in
the February 2003 update are as follows:
Technical changes were made to the WA 900 standard. The WA 900 Appendix B has been replaced by
referencing ISO 15071. Waisted or reduced shank constructions will be required for partially threaded products,
and full shank constructions will not be specified. The bolt thread tolerance class allowance has been expanded
to accommodate thicker plating and/or coating. Revisions have been made concurrently in the WX 100 standard,
to allow for thicker plating and/or coating. Chamfered end constructions will be required for all products. The
dimensional data for flanged hexagon bolt products has been updated in accordance with ISO 15071.
The updates reflected in this standard, will affect all current and future products. Current part numbers shall be
maintained, with tooling updates being made on current products, effective on or before January 2004. These
changes are considered part of our continuous improvement, and do not require the Part Production Approval
Process (PPAP) such as Part Sample Warrant (PSW) approval. Any deviations to these updates should be
reviewed with the responsible Ford Motor Company Engineer, Supplier Technical Assistance and Fastener
Standards.
