Value Collection 1342-Z M8x1.25 12mm Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1342-Z is a fully threaded socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a compact, high-profile fastener with precise metric threading. Built to DIN 912 standard, this screw features an M8 x 1.25 thread and a 12 mm length under head. The hex socket drive allows for high torque application in confined spaces where a wrench cannot reach. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), it offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and fabricators commonly install this type of fastener across a wide range of mechanical assemblies.

This socket cap screw is suited for general industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly applications where metric fasteners are specified. The fully threaded body ensures consistent clamping force along the entire length of engagement, making it a reliable choice for attaching brackets, flanges, guards, and structural components in equipment subject to vibration or repeated service cycles. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in moist or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread per DIN 912 standard
• 12 mm length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• Hex socket drive for high-torque installation in tight clearances
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Socket cap head profile provides a low footprint with a recessed drive

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912 standard metric socket cap screw suitable for use in any application calling for an M8 x 1.25 fully threaded fastener with hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Install with a calibrated hex key or socket bit sized for M8 socket cap screws. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and properly sized to DIN 912 specifications before driving the fastener. De-energize and isolate any powered equipment before performing fastener service. Do not exceed recommended torque values published by the equipment manufacturer for M8 fasteners in the applicable material.
