Value Collection 42723 M5 X 0.80 Hex Socket Cap Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42723 is an M5 x 0.80 mm hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and structural applications. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, this screw delivers high tensile strength suitable for demanding joint loads. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces surface reflectivity. At 16 mm length under head with full threading along the shank, the fastener seats consistently and provides maximum thread engagement in tapped holes. The internal hex drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Sold in packs of 50.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, pump and motor mounting, and general mechanical fabrication. The M5 x 0.80 thread pitch and 16 mm length under head make it a common choice for medium-duty metric fastening where high clamp load is required. Licensed mechanics, machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople are the typical installers. The 12.9 grade alloy steel construction meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, making it appropriate for engineered assemblies with defined torque requirements.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.80 mm thread size with 16 mm length under head
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and low reflectivity
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• Internal hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped M5 x 0.80 mm hole where a DIN 912 or ISO 898-1 compliant grade 12.9 fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, machinists, or maintenance technicians using a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate hex key or Allen bit. Always ensure the tapped receiving hole is clean and free of debris before seating the screw. Consult the assembly engineering specifications for the correct torque value, as grade 12.9 fasteners require precise torque to avoid over-stressing the joint or the mating material. Do not use impact drivers without torque control on high-grade metric cap screws.
