Mushroom Head

Compare your fastener to our visual size guide to confirm M-size, pitch and length.
Match your driver bit to the screw recess - Phillips, Pozi, slot or internal hex. Our Driving range lists the bit size for every drive type we stock.
Mushroom head machine screws have a wide, low domed head with a large flat bearing face beneath. The broad head spreads load and gives a smooth, rounded finish with no sharp edges, sitting lower and wider than a pan head. They are fully threaded for tapped holes or a matching nut.
Also known as: Truss-style Head, Wide Dome Head, Mushroom Head.
Used where a clean, wide, snag-free head is wanted - covers, trim, signage and panel fixing - and where a larger bearing surface helps on softer or thinner material.
DRIVE TYPES
Phillips (PH1 and PH2) - the common drive across this range. Matching bits are in our Driving section.
Slot - traditional flat-blade drive for electrical, plumbing and heritage work.
MATERIALS
Stocked in zinc plated, black zinc and G304 stainless.
THREAD SYSTEMS
Available in metric coarse and fine, plus imperial (UNC/UNF and BSW) threads. Machine screws are fully threaded with a uniform diameter and need a pre-tapped hole or a matching nut - they do not cut their own thread.
