Value Collection FHS1X0508-100BX M5x0.8 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FHS1X0508-100BX is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. This screw features a 90-degree flat head with a hex socket drive, allowing installation with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. It is fully threaded along its 8 mm overall length with an M5x0.8 thread pitch and is manufactured to DIN 7991 dimensional standards. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor assemblies. Mechanical technicians, machinists, and field service pros working in metric fastener environments will find this a dependable countersunk screw option.

This flat socket cap screw is used where a conventional raised-head fastener would interfere with mating surfaces, moving parts, or panel clearances. Common applications include machine assemblies, equipment enclosures, fixtures, brackets, and structural components requiring a clean flush-mount finish. The metric M5x0.8 thread size and DIN 7991 standard make it compatible with tapped holes and threaded inserts commonly found in European and internationally designed equipment. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production runs, maintenance stock, or service shop inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 7991 metric flat socket cap screw for use in M5x0.8 tapped holes and compatible countersunk applications across machine, equipment, and structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3 mm hex key or Allen driver; use a calibrated torque wrench where fastener torque is specified by the equipment manufacturer. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to 90 degrees to achieve full head seating and avoid stress concentrations. Degrease mating threads before installation if applying thread-locking compound. Always follow applicable equipment service documentation and relevant mechanical standards for fastener installation procedures.
