Import 6912 8X20 Low Socket Cap Screw M8x1.25 Alloy Steel

Product Description

The IMPORT 6912 8X20 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a reduced head profile is required without sacrificing clamping strength. Sized M8x1.25 with a 20mm length under head, this fastener is fully threaded in alloy steel with a black oxide finish. It carries a material grade of 10.9 and a tensile strength of 120,000 psi, making it appropriate for high-stress mechanical assemblies. The hex socket drive accepts a 6mm hex key. Installers working in HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, compressor housings, and similar mechanical systems use this screw where a standard socket cap head height would create clearance issues.

This fastener is suited for metric threaded assemblies in commercial and residential mechanical equipment. The low socket cap head reduces the installed profile compared to a standard socket cap screw while maintaining the same M8x1.25 coarse thread engagement. Typical applications include panel mounting, bracket attachment, equipment access covers, and internal mechanical component fastening where head clearance is limited. The black oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance in dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as a metric replacement fastener for M8x1.25 coarse thread applications conforming to ANSI B1.13M in mechanical, HVAC, and industrial equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 6mm hex key or socket driver. Verify the mating thread is M8x1.25 coarse before installation to avoid cross-threading. Torque to the assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer. In electrical or refrigeration equipment, de-energize and isolate the system before replacing or tightening fasteners on live components.
