Value Collection MASC0030008CP M3 X 0.5 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MASC0030008CP is a fully threaded socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications. Sized M3 x 0.5 with an 8 mm length under head, this screw meets DIN 912 standards and is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), providing corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key for high-torque installation in confined spaces where a conventional wrench cannot reach. Maintenance technicians, equipment fabricators, and industrial service pros use this fastener when a clean, low-profile socket cap head is required.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, pump housings, and instrumentation mounting across residential and commercial applications. The fully threaded shank provides consistent clamping force throughout the engaged length, making it appropriate for thin material joints and through-bolt configurations. Its stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in plumbing, HVAC equipment panels, pool equipment enclosures, and any setting where mild to moderate corrosion resistance is needed without stepping up to exotic alloys.

Key Features

• Thread size M3 x 0.5 per DIN 912 standard for consistent metric fitment
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in thin or short-hole applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, resists corrosion and mild chemical exposure
• Hex socket drive for high-torque installation in tight or recessed spaces
• Socket cap head profile sits low and clean against mating surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric socket cap screw suitable for M3 x 0.5 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and instrumentation mounting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a correctly sized hex key or hex bit driver rated for M3 fasteners. Always ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Avoid exceeding the torque capacity of the M3 thread size, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven too aggressively without lubrication. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for the assembly type.
