Value Collection MPOX05008-050BX M5x0.8 Oval Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPOX05008-050BX is an M5x0.8 oval head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 966, this metric fastener has an overall length of 8 mm and a length under the head of 8 mm. The oval head profile sits low and countersinks slightly into the mating surface, providing a clean, finished appearance without protruding hardware. The 18-8 stainless steel grade offers solid corrosion resistance for general-purpose applications. This box contains 50 pieces, suitable for production runs, maintenance stock, or field repairs requiring consistent metric fasteners.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, sheet metal work, enclosures, and equipment panels where a low-profile head and Phillips drive access are required. The M5 thread size is common in metric machinery, HVAC access panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture assemblies. The bright uncoated finish suits indoor or dry-environment applications. Installers working on metric-standard equipment will find this fastener compatible with standard M5 tapped holes and Phillips No. 2 drivers or bits.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver or power bit. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to M5x0.8 to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is a risk with stainless steel fasteners. Apply fastener lubricant or anti-seize compound if there is a risk of galling in stainless-to-stainless assemblies. Torque to the assembly specification for the joint material - do not rely on feel alone with stainless hardware.
