Value Collection 42918 Set Screw M5x0.80x5mm Cup Point 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42918 is a metric cup point set screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a fastener must seat flush with or below a surface. Manufactured from alloy steel at Grade 14.9 (45H), this screw delivers high tensile and torsional strength suitable for demanding industrial and trade applications. The M5 x 0.80 thread pitch and 5 mm overall length make it a compact fastener for shaft collars, pulleys, sprockets, and similar components. Drive is via a 2.50 mm hex key (Allen wrench), conforming to DIN 916. Each package contains 50 pieces.

This set screw is suited for mechanical maintenance and assembly work across HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, pump assemblies, and general industrial machinery. The cup point geometry bites into the mating shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement. Typical installers include millwrights, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on rotating equipment or structural fastening applications requiring a flush-mount solution.

Key Features

• Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel construction for high clamping force and torsional resistance
• Cup point geometry grips shaft surfaces to resist rotation and axial displacement
• M5 x 0.80 metric thread conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard
• 2.50 mm hex key drive for precise torque application in tight clearances
• 5 mm overall length suits shallow blind-hole installations
• Sold in a 50-piece package for shop stock and service kit replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 metric cup point set screw for use in any M5 x 0.80 threaded hole requiring a flush or sub-flush fastener with cup point engagement.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any assembly that contains this fastener. Use a calibrated 2.50 mm hex key to drive the screw; worn or undersized keys can strip the socket. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant industry standards for the assembly being serviced.
