Value Collection MSPX05012-100BX M5x0.8 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX05012-100BX is a metric pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener meets DIN 85 standards for pan head slotted screws. The M5x0.8 thread profile and 12 mm length under head make it well suited for light structural, panel, and equipment assembly work where corrosion resistance is a priority. Sold in a box of 100 pieces, this SKU is sized for job-site or shop stock use by maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, and general contractors.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where metric fasteners are specified. Common install scenarios include equipment enclosure assembly, control panel fabrication, sheet metal attachment, and general mechanical assembly where an M5 thread is called out. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible with basic hand tools in the field or on the bench. No washer is included or required by the fastener design.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 85 metric machine screw for use in any application calling for an M5x0.8 pan head slotted fastener with a 12 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for an M5 pan head fastener. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is more common with stainless steel fasteners. Do not over-torque stainless steel screws, as the material is susceptible to thread galling under excessive load. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance and any relevant mechanical or electrical code requirements for the assembly being serviced.
