Value Collection MSFXX12020-050BX M12 Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFXX12020-050BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw designed for use in fastening applications where a flush or countersunk finish is required. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an A4 designation and a bright uncoated finish, this screw offers strong corrosion resistance, making it well suited to wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. The M12x1.75 thread profile and 20 mm overall length make it a standard metric fastener for medium-load assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and structural applications.

This flat head machine screw is appropriate for metal-to-metal fastening where the screw head must sit flush with or below the surface of the mating material. The countersunk flat head profile conforms to DIN 963, a widely referenced European standard for slotted flat countersunk head screws. It is commonly used in equipment fabrication, enclosure assembly, marine hardware, food-processing equipment, and other settings that demand metric fasteners with reliable corrosion resistance. A slotted drive allows installation with standard flat-blade screwdrivers or slotted bits.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel (A4) construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation
• Flat countersunk head profile allows flush or recessed seating in mating surfaces
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power bits
• M12x1.75 thread size with 20 mm overall length per DIN 963 standard
• Bright uncoated finish preserves natural stainless steel appearance with no added coating
• Metric system measurement throughout for compatibility with metric-spec assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 963-compliant metric flat head slotted machine screw suitable for any application requiring an M12x1.75 countersunk fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted drive bit sized to the M12 head. The mating material should be drilled and countersunk to the appropriate DIN 963 angle before driving the screw. Torque the fastener to values appropriate for the mating material and joint requirements as specified by the design engineer. Avoid cross-threading by starting the fastener by hand before applying tool torque.
