This M5 x 20mm socket cap screw is manufactured to ISO 4762 in A4 stainless steel (316 marine grade). ISO 4762 specifies a cylindrical head with an internal hex socket, driven with a hex key (Allen key). The tall cylindrical head allows deep socket engagement and transfers high torque without the need for a spanner clearance envelope - allowing use in recessed positions and confined assemblies where a standard hex head bolt would be inaccessible. The compact head profile suits applications where appearance and precision are both important.

Typical applications

  • Marine equipment, boat deck hardware, and waterside fabrication
  • Swimming pool plant, pump assemblies, and water treatment equipment
  • Offshore structures and coastal installations with saltwater exposure
  • Chemical plant, food processing, and hygienic equipment

How do I choose between A2 and A4 stainless steel?

A2 (304) stainless steel suits most indoor, outdoor and workshop jobs. Choose A4 (316) marine grade for coastal, marine, poolside or other chloride-rich environments.

How do I make sure I order the right size?

Check the size in the product title and the standard, material and dimensions in the Product Specification tab. In M8 x 30, M8 is the thread diameter and 30 is the length in millimetres. See our size guide if you need more help.
