Value Collection -42705-1 Hex Socket Cap Screw M3x0.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -42705-1 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade assembly work. Threaded M3 x 0.50, the screw measures 14 mm under the head and is fully threaded along its entire shank length. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it meets the DIN 912 fastener standard and carries a material grade of 12.9, indicating high tensile strength suitable for demanding clamping loads. This screw is installed using a hex (Allen) key drive and is commonly used by millwrights, machinists, and maintenance technicians in equipment assembly and repair.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a compact, high-strength metric fastener is required. The fully threaded M3 x 0.50 configuration allows maximum thread engagement across the fastened joint. Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it appropriate for precision equipment, fixtures, and tooling installations. Packaged in quantities of 50 per pack with a minimum order of 1 pack.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 thread size with 14 mm length under head
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof load ratings
• Black oxide coating for mild corrosion resistance and low reflectivity
• Hex socket (Allen key) drive type for torque-efficient installation in tight spaces
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M3 x 0.50 threaded bores in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment where a grade 12.9 alloy steel fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex (Allen) key or hex bit driver matched to the M3 socket head. Verify thread pitch and bore depth before installation to avoid cross-threading or bottoming out. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications for grade 12.9 M3 fasteners as listed in applicable assembly documentation. Inspect threads and seating surfaces for debris or damage prior to fastening.
