Value Collection -42704-4 M3x0.50 Hex Socket Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -42704-4 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw sized M3 x 0.50 metric with a 10 mm length under head. Built from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, this screw meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards at a material grade of 12.9, placing it in the high-strength category suited for demanding mechanical assemblies. The hex socket drive requires a standard hex key or Allen driver for installation. This package contains 50 pieces, making it appropriate for production runs, maintenance stock, or field repair kits where consistent torque capacity and corrosion resistance matter.

This screw is used across a broad range of industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications where a compact, low-profile cap head and high tensile strength are required. Typical installation scenarios include machinery frames, brackets, enclosures, and precision assemblies where metric fasteners are specified. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, which is useful in exposed or aesthetic assemblies. Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working to metric fastener specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric hex socket cap screw conforming to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1, suitable for M3 x 0.50 threaded applications across industrial and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure threaded holes are clean and free of debris before driving. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or torque specifications per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. High-strength grade 12.9 fasteners should not be substituted into assemblies designed for lower-grade hardware without engineering review.
