Value Collection MSFXX12045-025BX M12x1.75 Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFXX12045-025BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel (A4) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries an M12x1.75 thread size and an overall length of 45 millimeters, conforming to DIN 963 dimensional standards. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when properly driven, making it well suited for applications where a low-profile or countersunk fastener is required. Installers and maintenance technicians working in corrosive or wet environments frequently specify Grade 316 stainless for its elevated resistance to chlorides and oxidation compared to standard 18-8 material.

This fastener is used across a broad range of mechanical, electrical, and industrial assembly applications where a metric slotted drive and flush-seating head are specified. It is particularly common in marine hardware, food-processing equipment, chemical processing enclosures, and general fabrication where corrosion resistance is a priority. The DIN 963 standard governs head geometry and thread tolerances, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other DIN 963 compliant hardware. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces per package.

Key Features

• M12x1.75 metric thread, DIN 963 flat head slotted profile for flush or countersunk installations
• Grade 316 stainless steel (A4) construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chloride-rich environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or introduce galvanic incompatibility
• 45 mm overall length measured from top of head, consistent with DIN 963 length-measurement convention
• Conforms to DIN 963 dimensional standard for thread tolerance and head geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application calling for a DIN 963 M12x1.75 flat head slotted machine screw in Grade 316 stainless steel. Suitable for standard metric tapped holes or nuts carrying an M12x1.75 thread specification.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized to the M12 DIN 963 head slot; an undersized driver risks cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to the DIN 963 head angle before driving to achieve a flush seating surface. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before fastener replacement on live assemblies. Apply an anti-seize compound compatible with stainless steel when fastening into stainless or aluminum tapped bores to prevent galling during installation and future removal.
