Value Collection 815704PS M3 Hex Cap Screw Grade 8.8 Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 815704PS is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for metric fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade assembly work. Sized M3 x 0.50 with a 12 mm length under head, this screw is manufactured from Grade 8.8 steel — a medium-high-strength carbon steel alloy rated for structural and load-bearing fastening. A zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty environmental exposure. The 5.5 mm hex drive accepts standard metric wrenches and hex sockets. Compliance with DIN 933 and ISO 4017 standards ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability with other metric hardware to the same specification.

This screw is used in general mechanical assembly, equipment fabrication, and maintenance applications where a compact M3 metric fastener is required. The fully threaded shank makes it well suited for through-bolt configurations and thin-material clamping. Typical users include maintenance technicians, machine builders, HVAC equipment assemblers, and electrical panel fabricators who need a reliable, standards-compliant metric fastener in small-diameter sizes.

Key Features

• Grade 8.8 steel construction provides medium-high tensile and yield strength for structural fastening
• Fully threaded M3 x 0.50 shank conforms to DIN 933 and ISO 4017 dimensional standards
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications
• 5.5 mm hex head accepts standard metric wrenches and sockets
• 12 mm length under head suits through-bolt and thin-panel assembly scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 933 and ISO 4017 compliant M3 x 0.50 hex head cap screw, compatible with any metric-threaded M3 nut, insert, or tapped hole conforming to the same thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, assemblers, or trade professionals using standard metric hand tools or power drivers with a 5.5 mm hex socket or open-end wrench. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated strength of the fastener by applying torque values intended for higher-grade hardware. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications when assembling load-bearing or safety-critical joints.
