• RS PRO Metric Countersunk Head Stainless Steel Hex Set Screw The RS PRO Hex Socket Countersunk Head Screw is ideal when you want the screw to be as high or lower than the material surface.　This metric threaded universal countersunk head screw is made of A2 (304) grade stainless steel for light duty applications with limited space. These fixtures are used when a strong and reliable joint is required. Wherever these screws are used, they provide an attractive look and finish, as well as excellent resistance to corrosion.　These screws can be tightened or removed using an Allen wrench (hex wrench). There are a variety of tip types:　Recessed tip - concave tip, most commonly used flat tip - used for frequent reattachment or replacement. Simple, Cost-Effective Point-Pointed Tip. Designed for longer term installations and provides the best holding capacity for more precise contact with the pointed end Half tip - cylindrical tip Features and benefits: Stainless steel grab screws with hex socket Metric screws M3, M4, M5, M6 Available in a variety of screw sizes Excellent corrosion resistance Countersunk hole - The screw head does not protrude so it is not in contact with objects on site Many internal coupling applications also require a hex wrench/allen key Typical application:
• This screw has a variety of applications but is typically a fastener for industrial equipment or machinery where parts must be fixed to a surface or integrated. The socket must be the same metric screw as the screw itself. For example, these types of uses include:　Wooden industrial premises applications Clasps and fixtures Mechanical tools and repair security guards Electronic applications Automotive industry Medical facilities and maintenance applications Note: A hexagonal wrench/Allen key is required RS has a wide range of hex screws made of A2 (304) stainless steel. For more information, see the datasheet and the full series summary download file. For screws other than A2 stainless steel, we also offer hex screws made of steel material color, gloss galvanized steel, titanium, and A4 (316) stainless steel conforming to DIN Standard 912.

• Frequently asked questions What is a socket screw?
• Socket screws are exactly what their name implies. This product is a type of screw bolt that screws into the desired socket. They come in a variety of sizes and lengths and can be used for both industrial and personal applications. The quality and reliability of the RS PRO socket screw ensures that it is firmly fixed in a stable condition regardless of the application.
• Advantages of Stainless Steel • Stainless steel is useful beyond its appearance. Excellent corrosion resistance is a key feature, preventing undesirable problems such as rust. The high heat resistance of stainless steel is also a big advantage. Thanks to its fabrication method, it can withstand incredible heat as opposed to standard steel screws or sockets. Cost is the only issue, but this reliable and durable material not only extends the life of the application, but also increases sustainability.
