Value Collection MSFX12045-025BX M12x1.75 Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFX12045-025BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries an M12x1.75 thread and an overall length of 45 mm. The countersunk flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a properly sized countersunk hole. This fastener conforms to DIN 963, the international standard governing dimensions and tolerances for slotted countersunk flat head screws. It is used by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, marine fabricators, and general industrial assemblers wherever a flush-mount metric fastener with good corrosion resistance is required.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty assemblies in corrosive or washdown environments, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and general stainless fabrication. The 18-8 A2 stainless grade provides resistance to rust, mild acids, and atmospheric corrosion. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible in field and shop settings alike. No washer is used under the head; the countersunk seat bears the load directly against the mating material.

Key Features

• M12x1.75 metric thread conforms to DIN 963 dimensional standard
• 45 mm overall length with full-length thread measured as overall length
• 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating that can chip or flake in service
• Flat countersunk head seats flush for smooth, low-profile assemblies
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 963-compliant M12x1.75 flat head slotted machine screw for use in any application requiring a metric countersunk fastener of this thread size and length. Verify countersink angle and thread class of the mating component before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or assembler familiar with metric fastener standards. The mating hole must be countersunk to the correct DIN 963 angle to achieve full head seating; an improperly prepared hole can cause the head to stand proud or crack under load. Do not use an impact driver with a slotted bit, as this risks cam-out and head damage. Confirm thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the application before torquing to final specification.
