Value Collection MSOX05016-050BX M5x0.8 Oval Head Machine Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOX05016-050BX is a metric machine screw with an oval head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 50. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw meets DIN 964 standards for oval-head slotted fasteners. The M5x0.8 thread pitch and 16 mm overall length make it a common choice for light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work rely on 18-8 stainless fasteners wherever moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern.

This fastener is suited for use in metal enclosures, equipment panels, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies that require a flush or slightly countersunk oval-head profile. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor and lightly exposed outdoor applications. Each box contains 50 screws, making it practical for service vans and shop stock where small-quantity replenishment is routine.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid damaging the slot. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to M5x0.8 or that a matching nut and clearance hole are used. Stainless-to-stainless fastening can be prone to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless tapped holes. De-energize any equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where these fasteners are being installed or removed.
