Value Collection LHS4X04010-050BX M4 Low Head Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LHS4X04010-050BX is a low head socket cap screw engineered for applications where a standard-profile cap head would interfere with adjacent components or mating surfaces. Threaded M4 x 0.7 with a 10 mm length under head, this fastener is fully threaded and drives with a 2.5 mm hex key. The low-profile head reduces vertical stack height without sacrificing clamping force, making it a go-to choice in tight-clearance assemblies. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2, it resists corrosion in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The bright, uncoated finish confirms compliance with DIN 6912 dimensional standards and keeps the surface free of coating buildup that could affect thread fit.

This screw is used in precision mechanical assemblies, enclosures, instrumentation panels, and light structural work where an M4 fastener is specified and head height clearance is restricted. It is common in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure fabrication, pump housings, and plumbing fixture assemblies where stainless fasteners are required for corrosion resistance. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order, and this listing represents a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces clearance requirements compared to standard socket cap screws
• M4 x 0.7 metric thread, fully threaded 10 mm under head
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion resistant in wet and chemical environments
• 2.5 mm hex socket drive for reliable torque transmission in tight spaces
• DIN 6912 compliant — consistent dimensions for interchangeable use
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating thickness variation affecting thread fit

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6912 compliant M4 x 0.7 low head socket cap screw suitable for metric-threaded assemblies requiring a reduced-height fastener head and stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a 2.5 mm hex key or hex bit driver; confirm the driver is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating material meets minimum requirements for the load applied, as the short 10 mm length limits available engagement in thick materials. For stainless fasteners, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to prevent galling. No power-down or system shutoff is required unless the assembly is part of a live electrical or pressurized system, in which case follow applicable NEC or IPC lockout procedures before service.
