Value Collection HC3X05055-050BX M5 Hex Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC3X05055-050BX is a fully threaded metric hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and mildly chemical environments. The M5 x 0.80 thread pitch and 55 mm length under head make it a practical choice where a compact, reliable metric fastener is required. An 8 mm hex drive provides positive wrench engagement. This screw conforms to DIN 933, EN 24017, and ISO 4017 standards, confirming dimensional and material traceability for professional and OEM use.

This fastener suits a wide range of trade and light industrial applications, including HVAC equipment panel assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, plumbing fixture brackets, and pool equipment hardware. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for stainless-to-stainless contact or use with compatible non-ferrous hardware. Fully threaded construction allows engagement along the entire shank, making it well suited to shorter clamping distances and thin-material fastening scenarios common in mechanical service work.

Key Features

• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement across the entire 55 mm length under head
• M5 x 0.80 metric thread pitch conforms to DIN 933, EN 24017, and ISO 4017 standards
• 8 mm hex drive accepts standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Bright, uncoated finish - no plating to chip, flake, or contaminate assembly surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring an M5 x 0.80 x 55 mm fully threaded fastener conforming to DIN 933, EN 24017, or ISO 4017 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 8 mm open-end, box, or socket wrench. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in high-conductivity or submerged environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Galling is a known risk with stainless fasteners - apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Always de-energize or depressurize equipment before accessing fastened panels or covers.
