Value Collection 47003 M3x0.5 Flat Socket Cap Screw 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 47003 is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. With an M3x0.5 thread size and a 12.00 mm overall length, this screw uses a 2.00 mm hex socket drive and seats at a 90-degree flat head angle. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor assemblies. The screw is fully threaded and conforms to DIN 7991 standards, making it a dependable choice for precision mechanical and structural fastening work.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where a low-profile, countersunk fastener is needed. Common uses include equipment panels, machinery enclosures, HVAC brackets, electrical fixtures, plumbing access covers, and general mechanical assemblies. The metric M3x0.5 thread size fits standard metric tapped holes and is appropriate for light-duty structural fastening where head clearance is limited. This SKU is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as a metric replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a DIN 7991 M3x0.5 flat socket cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 2.00 mm hex key or Allen wrench sized for the socket drive. Ensure the mating surface is properly countersunk at 90 degrees to match the flat head angle before fastening. Do not exceed the rated torque range for M3 stainless fasteners, and avoid using impact drivers on small-diameter metric screws to prevent thread damage or head stripping. Power down any equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured with these fasteners.
