Value Collection MSFXX03008-050BX M3x0.5 Flat Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFXX03008-050BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish. It features an M3x0.5 thread size and an overall length of 8 millimeters. The flat head profile allows the fastener to sit flush with or below the surface of the mating material when countersunk correctly. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making this screw suitable for wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. Supplied in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this screw is a standard DIN 963 fastener used across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trade applications.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial service work where a flush-mount metric fastener is required. Typical applications include securing panel covers, junction box covers, equipment housings, and small mechanical assemblies. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. The M3x0.5 thread and 8-millimeter length target thin-stock assemblies and equipment with shallow tapped holes. Trade professionals in electrical, HVAC, and plumbing service work commonly stock this size for panel and cover fastening tasks.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slot without slipping to avoid damaging the drive or the mating surface. Ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to the DIN 963 head angle before installation. For stainless steel fasteners threaded into stainless steel tapped holes, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Disconnect power or shut off relevant systems before opening any panel or enclosure requiring this fastener.
