NAS1081-6D12

Externally threaded fasteners designed to be turned to assemble or adjust parts, including machine screws, cap screws, socket-head cap screws, set screws, self-tapping and thread-forming screws. This is the largest single class in the U.S. supply system and covers a vast range of thread sizes, drive types, head styles, and materials.

Reading the part number. NAS1081-6D12 breaks down as NAS1081 — the National Aerospace Standard that fixes the part's design — plus the dash/suffix code 6D12, which selects the exact size, material, or finish variant from the tables on that standard. Two parts sharing the NAS1081 base are the same design in different variants.

Price in context. Across the 2,357 items we currently stock in FSC 5305 (Screws), published unit prices run from $0.03 to $14,752.17. At $87.61, this item sits well above the class median of $10.52 — typical of assemblies and higher-value line items in this class.
