Product Description
M5 Grade 12.9 Self Colour Socket Cap Screws – Fully Threaded
M5 fully threaded socket cap screws manufactured from property class 12.9 high tensile steel with a self colour finish. Featuring an M5 × 0.8mm metric coarse thread, these screws are suitable for machinery, tooling and mechanical assemblies requiring a high strength fastener.
The cylindrical socket cap head is driven using a 4mm Allen key or hexagon driver bit. The fully threaded design allows fastening into a matching tapped hole or use with a suitable M5 nut.

Typical Applications
Suitable for machine building, tooling, equipment maintenance, brackets, fixtures and general mechanical assemblies requiring fully threaded M5 high tensile socket cap screws.
Installation
Use a correctly fitting 4mm Allen key or hexagon driver bit. Ensure sufficient thread engagement and check that the screw cannot bottom out in a blind hole before the joint is clamped.
Apply a tightening torque appropriate to the fastener, mating material, lubrication and joint design. Use compatible nuts and washers where required. Self colour steel requires suitable protection when exposed to moisture.
Ordering
Select your required screw length and pack quantity from the available options. Screw length is measured beneath the head and excludes the head height.
