Value Collection HC3XX05010-050BX M5 Hex Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC3XX05010-050BX is a metric hex head cap screw used to fasten components in applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Manufactured from Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (ASTM A4), this fastener delivers strong resistance to chlorides, moisture, and chemical exposure. The screw measures M5 x 0.80 thread pitch with a 10 mm length under head and is fully threaded along its entire shank. The 8 mm hex drive accepts standard metric wrenches or sockets. It is supplied uncoated with a bright finish and conforms to DIN 933 standards. Installation professionals and maintenance trades specify this grade for marine, food-service, and outdoor structural applications where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

This fastener is suited for light-duty metric assembly work across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and pool or spa equipment where salt water or chemical exposure is a regular concern. The M5 thread size is common in equipment manufactured to metric standards, including imported HVAC units, variable-speed drive enclosures, and stainless-framed pump assemblies. The fully threaded shank allows engagement across the full grip length, making it useful where through-bolting into a nut or threaded insert is required.

Key Features

• Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (A4) provides excellent resistance to chlorides and corrosive environments
• Fully threaded shank per DIN 933 for maximum thread engagement across the full fastener length
• M5 x 0.80 mm thread pitch with 10 mm length under head for compact metric assemblies
• 8 mm hex head accepts standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or introduce galvanic incompatibility
• Minimum order quantity of 50 units supports bulk fastener stocking for service fleets and shop inventories

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 933 metric hex head cap screw for M5 x 0.80 threaded holes in equipment panels, brackets, and assemblies requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized trade licensing but should be performed by a mechanic or technician familiar with metric fastener standards. De-energize or isolate any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live electrical or pressurized assemblies. Use a calibrated metric torque wrench when a specific torque value is called out in the equipment manufacturer's service documentation. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in submerged or high-humidity environments without verifying galvanic compatibility.
