Value Collection MSFX05006-050BX M5x0.8 Flat Slotted Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFX05006-050BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw used to join metal components where a flush or countersunk surface is required. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener meets DIN 963 standards for dimensional consistency and material performance. The M5x0.8 thread size and 6 mm overall length make it a compact, corrosion-resistant choice for light-duty mechanical assemblies. This box contains 50 screws, suitable for production runs, maintenance kits, and field repair stock. Machinists, millwrights, equipment technicians, and general contractors install these in equipment panels, enclosures, and structural assemblies where stainless steel is specified.

This screw is intended for metric threaded applications requiring a flush-mount fastener in corrosive or wash-down environments. Typical installations include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture assemblies, pump housings, and light structural components. The flat head profile allows the fastener to sit flush or slightly below the mating surface when installed in a properly countersunk hole. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power-drive bits. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides good resistance to oxidation and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for indoor and outdoor service environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any metric M5x0.8 threaded application requiring a DIN 963 flat head slotted machine screw in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or mechanic familiar with metric fastener standards. The mating hole must be properly countersunk to the DIN 963 angle specification to achieve a flush seating surface. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if the fastener may require future removal.
