Value Collection 119738 M8x1.25 Socket Cap Screw 120mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 119738 is an M8 x 1.25 hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment maintenance applications. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) and left uncoated for a bright finish, this screw delivers solid corrosion resistance and meets DIN 912 dimensional standards. The partially threaded shank measures 120 millimeters under the head, and the internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation in confined spaces where a wrench cannot seat properly. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on stainless assemblies will find this screw a reliable go-to fastener.

This screw is suited for use in general industrial machinery, food-processing equipment, marine hardware, and other environments where corrosion resistance is a primary concern. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch is a standard coarse metric thread found widely in European and metric-specification equipment. The partially threaded design allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads across joint interfaces, making it appropriate for bolted connections that experience lateral stress. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 coarse metric thread for broad compatibility with standard metric hardware
• 120 millimeter length under head, partially threaded for shear-load-bearing joints
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish maintains true dimensional tolerances
• Internal hex (Allen) drive for use in confined installation spaces
• Conforms to DIN 912 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw compatible with any M8 x 1.25 threaded hole or nut meeting DIN or ISO metric thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a correctly sized hex key or socket driver. Always confirm the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Torque to the fastener assembly's specified value per the equipment manufacturer's documentation. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads when the application permits.
