Value Collection 532055P M5x0.8 Hex Socket Cap Screw 18mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532055P is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for metric fastening applications requiring high tensile strength. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, this fastener meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards at material grade 12.9, indicating exceptional strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The M5 x 0.80 thread profile and 18 mm length under head make it a compact yet robust choice for precision equipment, tooling fixtures, and structural component fastening. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on machinery, HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies will find this screw well suited to production and service environments.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where metric fastening is specified. Its black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance in controlled indoor environments. The hex socket drive requires a standard metric hex key or Allen driver, making it well suited for recessed or close-tolerance installations where a wrench cannot be used. It is sold in a package of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for bulk maintenance stock or production line procurement.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.80 thread size with 18 mm length under head for compact metric fastening
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load strength
• Black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance finish
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the fastener length
• Hex socket drive allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards for dimensional and mechanical compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for use in machinery, equipment frames, and assemblies specifying an M5 x 0.80 grade 12.9 fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a properly sized metric hex key or socket driver to avoid rounding the drive recess. Always verify thread pitch and hole depth before fastening to prevent cross-threading or bottoming out. Confirm that mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. For structural or torque-critical applications, consult the equipment manufacturer specifications for proper preload values.
