Value Collection 1343 M8x1.25 Hex Socket Cap Screw Din 912

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1343 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw in M8 x 1.25 metric thread, designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and structural applications. The screw measures 14 mm in length under the head and is machined from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. Drive is an internal hex socket, requiring an Allen key or hex bit driver. This fastener meets DIN 912 standards and ships in an uncoated, bright finish. It is commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals across industrial and commercial settings.

This screw is suited for general-purpose bolted connections where metric fasteners are specified. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch is one of the most common metric coarse threads, making this screw a standard fit for equipment manufactured to metric specifications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for food processing equipment, marine hardware, HVAC bracket assemblies, pump housings, and similar applications where mild-to-moderate corrosion resistance is required. Full threading along the shank allows engagement over the entire fastened length, which is useful in blind-hole and thin-material applications.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric coarse thread, fully threaded shank
• 14 mm length under head for compact, close-clearance installations
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Internal hex socket drive conforms to DIN 912 standard
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating interference with thread tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw compatible with any tapped hole or threaded insert specifying M8 x 1.25 thread pitch in metric-standard machinery, equipment frames, or assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex key or hex bit driver; use of the correct driver size is critical to avoid rounding the socket. Always verify that the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Torque to the assembly specification for Grade A2 stainless fasteners per the applicable equipment service documentation. Avoid mixing stainless and carbon steel hardware in the same assembly to prevent galvanic corrosion.
