Value Collection 085060PS M5x0.8 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 085060PS is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in light to medium-duty applications. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw follows DIN 85 and ISO 1580 standards. The M5x0.8 thread and 6mm length under head make it suitable for a wide range of assembly and maintenance tasks across HVAC, electrical panel work, plumbing fixtures, and general equipment fabrication. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors commonly use this fastener when assembling equipment enclosures, mounting brackets, and structural panels requiring a metric thread profile.

This screw is packaged in quantities of 100 per order, making it appropriate for production assembly, service van stock, or shop inventory. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface with good drive access for standard flat-blade screwdrivers. The zinc coating offers light protection in dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Length is measured under the head per DIN 85 and ISO 1580 conventions, which is important for accurate fastener selection when calculating thread engagement depth in tapped holes.

Key Features

• M5x0.8 metric thread conforms to DIN 85 and ISO 1580 fastener standards
• Pan head profile with slotted drive for standard flat-blade screwdriver installation
• Grade 4.8 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc finish delivers basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 6mm length under head measured per DIN 85 convention for accurate thread engagement planning
• No washer integrated — compatible with flat washers selected separately as needed

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric machine screw for use in any application requiring an M5x0.8 thread, pan head profile, and slotted drive conforming to DIN 85 or ISO 1580 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slotted head recess to avoid drive cam-out or head damage. Confirm that the tapped hole or nut thread pitch matches M5x0.8 before installation. Torque to values appropriate for Grade 4.8 steel fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable assembly standard. Avoid use in outdoor or high-moisture environments where the zinc finish may not provide sufficient long-term corrosion protection.
