Product Description
M5 Brass Hexagon Head Fully Threaded Set Screws
These M5 brass hexagon-head set screws provide a fully threaded fastening solution for decorative assemblies, electrical equipment and general light-duty engineering. The conventional external hexagon head can be installed using a standard 8mm spanner or socket.
In UK fastener terminology, a set screw is a fully threaded hexagon-head fastener. It should not be confused with a headless socket or slotted grub screw.

Benefits of Brass Fasteners
- Attractive natural brass appearance
- Suitable corrosion resistance for compatible environments
- Suitable for many electrical and electronic assemblies
- Useful for decorative and restoration applications
- Easy to install using standard metric tools
Brass is generally softer and lower in strength than high-tensile steel. These fasteners should not be substituted for structural or high-strength fasteners. No particular brass alloy, mechanical grade or strength class is specified for this product.
Typical Applications
- Electrical and electronic equipment
- Decorative fittings and visible assemblies
- Model engineering and instrument work
- Furniture and cabinet hardware
- Automotive and machinery restoration
- General light-duty fastening
Installation Guidance
Use a correctly fitting 8mm spanner or socket. Start the fastener by hand to reduce the risk of cross-threading and avoid excessive tightening because brass is softer than steel. Confirm that the selected length, thread engagement and joint materials are suitable for the application.
