Value Collection HC1X05050-050BX Hex Cap Screw M5 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC1X05050-050BX is a metric hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening applications. It is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and mildly chemical environments. The fastener measures M5 x 0.80 thread pitch with a 50 mm length under the head and is partially threaded per DIN 931 standard. An 8 mm hex drive size allows installation with standard metric wrenches or hex sockets. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, pool equipment, and general mechanical systems will encounter this size frequently.

This screw is suited for metric fastening applications across residential and light commercial equipment. Partially threaded shanks provide clamping strength when joining thicker materials, as the unthreaded portion bears shear loads more effectively than a fully threaded fastener. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate where a secondary coating would interfere with dimensional tolerances or where the base alloy corrosion resistance is sufficient. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — resists rust and oxidation without a secondary coating
• Partially threaded shank per DIN 931 for improved shear load performance
• M5 x 0.80 thread form with 50 mm length under head for versatile metric fastening
• 8 mm hex drive compatible with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Bright uncoated finish maintains tight dimensional tolerances
• Sold in multiples of 50 pieces — suitable for shop stock and service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for metric-threaded assemblies requiring M5 x 0.80 hex head cap screws conforming to DIN 931.

Installation Notes

Install using a metric wrench or socket sized to the 8 mm hex drive. Power down or de-energize equipment fully before fastener service on electrical or HVAC assemblies. Do not mix metric and unified inch fasteners in the same assembly. Torque to the equipment manufacturer specification for M5 stainless fasteners — do not rely on generic values unless confirmed by the equipment service manual.
