hex socket flat head screw

hex socket flat head screw

Our Hex Socket Flat Head Screws, also known as countersunk screws, are a high-performance fastening solution designed for applications requiring a strong, reliable joint with a perfectly flush, snag-free finish. Featuring an internal hex (Allen) drive for high-torque installation and a flat top that sits level with the material surface, these screws are ideal for precision machinery, tooling, automotive, and architectural applications. Available in an extensive range of materials, sizes, and strength grades, and commonly finished with a protective black oxide coating, they offer both exceptional performance and a clean, aesthetic appearance.

Product Details

The defining characteristic of this screw is its flat head, which has a conical bearing surface designed to fit into a countersunk hole. This allows the screw head to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material, which is critical for applications with moving parts, external panels, or where a smooth finish is desired.

The internal hexagonal socket drive allows for higher torque to be applied during installation compared to conventional slotted or cross-recess drives. This creates a tighter, more secure fastening and reduces the risk of driver slippage (cam-out) that could damage the screw or the workpiece. These screws are available in a wide array of property classes, including high-tensile alloy steel grades like 10.9 and 12.9, which are heat-treated for maximum hardness and strength. The standard black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a durable, non-reflective black appearance.
