Value Collection FHS1XX0560-050BX M5x0.8 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FHS1XX0560-050BX is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications in corrosion-sensitive environments. Manufactured from 316 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A4, this fastener delivers strong resistance to chlorides, acids, and marine exposure. The screw features a 90-degree flat head driven by a 3.00 mm hex socket, with an M5x0.8 thread and an overall length of 60.00 mm. Partially threaded with a 16.00 mm thread length and a 6G thread fit class, it is well suited for precision assemblies where surface flush is critical. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in food processing, marine, chemical, or industrial settings are the primary installers.

This fastener is used in applications requiring a low-profile, countersunk head that sits flush with or below a mating surface. The M5x0.8 thread size makes it appropriate for light to medium structural connections in metric assemblies, including equipment enclosures, brackets, frames, and panels. Its stainless steel construction makes it a common choice for outdoor installations, wet environments, and hygienic applications where carbon steel would corrode. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per box, this screw is practical for production runs, service kits, and maintenance stock.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any metric M5x0.8 threaded assembly requiring a 90-degree countersunk flat head fastener, particularly in corrosion-resistant or hygienic service conditions where Grade A4 stainless steel is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized countersunk hole to accept the 90-degree flat head profile and a calibrated 3.00 mm hex socket driver or allen key. Ensure the receiving material is tapped or fitted with a compatible M5x0.8 nut or insert before driving. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners without lubrication, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torque specifications are critical. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific industry of installation.
