Value Collection HC3XX05040-050BX M5 Hex Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC3XX05040-050BX is a fully threaded hex head cap screw manufactured to DIN 933 standards in Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A4). The M5 x 0.80 thread profile and 40 mm length under head make this a common metric fastener for light structural and mechanical assemblies. The bright, uncoated finish means the stainless surface is left exposed, preserving the natural corrosion resistance of 316 alloy without additional plating or coating. An 8 mm hex drive allows installation with standard metric wrenches or sockets. This screw is well suited to wet, marine, chemical, and food-processing environments where corrosion resistance matters.

This fastener fits general industrial, commercial, and marine applications where metric hardware and corrosion-resistant material are required. Typical uses include equipment fabrication, panel mounting, pump assemblies, and fluid-handling systems. Tradespersons in HVAC, plumbing, pool, and electrical work regularly use Grade 316 stainless hardware when installing equipment in humid, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments. The DIN 933 standard ensures dimensional consistency across interchangeable metric assemblies. These are sold in minimum order quantities of 50 pieces per order, making them practical for stocking a service truck or shop bin.

Key Features

• Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A4) for strong corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Fully threaded per DIN 933, M5 x 0.80 thread pitch
• 40 mm length under head for consistent depth in standard assemblies
• 8 mm hex drive compatible with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Bright uncoated finish preserves native stainless corrosion resistance without added plating
• Minimum order quantity of 50 supports bulk stocking for service and installation crews

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a DIN 933 fully threaded metric hex head cap screw in M5 x 0.80 thread size, 40 mm length under head, in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation of metric fasteners typically falls within the scope of mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical tradespeople depending on the equipment being assembled. Use a calibrated torque wrench when specifications require controlled clamp load on critical joints. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in submerged or electrolyte-rich environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Confirm thread engagement depth before final torque to avoid stripping the mating thread.
