Value Collection LHS4X05020-050BX Low Head Socket Cap Screw M5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LHS4X05020-050BX is a metric low head socket cap screw designed for applications where standard cap head height is too tall to fit within a counterbore or mating assembly. Threaded M5 x 0.8 with a 20 mm length under head, this fastener features a 3.5 mm low-profile head driven by a 4 mm hex key. It is partially threaded with a 16 mm thread length and conforms to DIN 6912. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it carries an uncoated bright finish suited for corrosion-resistant applications in tight-clearance assemblies.

This screw is used in mechanical, industrial, and equipment assembly applications where standard socket cap screws would protrude or interfere with adjacent components. The low head profile is common in panel mounting, machine guarding, fixture building, and precision equipment where flush or near-flush fastening is required. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on metric assemblies across light manufacturing and OEM equipment environments. Thread fit class is 6G, consistent with standard metric coarse-thread tolerances.

Key Features

• Low-profile 3.5 mm head height for tight-clearance and shallow counterbore installations
• M5 x 0.8 coarse metric thread, partially threaded with 16 mm thread length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive accepts a 4 mm hex key
• Conforms to DIN 6912 fastener standard
• Bright uncoated finish with 6G thread fit class

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6912 metric low head socket cap screw for use in M5 x 0.8 coarse-thread tapped holes in metric assemblies requiring reduced head clearance.

Installation Notes

Install using a 4 mm hex key or hex socket bit; ensure the mating tapped hole meets DIN 6912 tolerances for proper thread engagement. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies on live machinery. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for Grade A2 stainless M5 fasteners, and avoid over-torquing, which can gall stainless threads. Anti-seize compound may be used on stainless fasteners to prevent galling during installation and future removal.
