Value Collection LHS4X05012-050BX Low Head Socket Cap Screw M5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LHS4X05012-050BX is a metric low head socket cap screw engineered for applications where clearance above the fastener head is limited. It features an M5 x 0.8 thread with a 12 mm length under head and is fully threaded from tip to head. The low-profile socket cap head accepts a 3 mm hex key drive. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this screw resists corrosion and maintains strength in wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. It conforms to DIN 6912 and carries a bright, uncoated finish. Installers, machinists, and maintenance technicians use this fastener when standard-height cap screws would interfere with adjacent components or mating surfaces.

This screw suits precision mechanical assemblies, panel and frame construction, equipment enclosures, and fixtures where a low-profile head is required to maintain clearance. The fully threaded M5 x 0.8 shank provides maximum thread engagement in thin materials or shallow blind holes. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for marine environments, food-processing equipment, HVAC ductwork attachments, and similar corrosion-exposed service. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it practical for production runs, service fleets, or shop stock replenishment.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces interference with adjacent components and mating surfaces
• M5 x 0.8 fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement in thin stock and shallow holes
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 3 mm hex socket drive for standard Allen key or hex bit installation
• Conforms to DIN 6912 fastener standard for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in close-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6912-compliant low head socket cap screw for metric M5 x 0.8 threaded applications in mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance work requiring a reduced-height fastener head.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3 mm hex key or hex bit driver; ensure the driver is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Verify thread engagement depth meets application requirements before final tightening, particularly in blind holes or thin base materials. When installing into dissimilar metals such as aluminum, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Always confirm the fastener material is compatible with the service environment and any chemicals or cleaning agents present at the installation site.
