Value Collection 1373 Hex Socket Cap Screw M8 X 1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1373 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for mechanical fastening applications requiring corrosion resistance and precise torque control. This screw features an M8 x 1.25 thread size with a 45 mm length under head and is partially threaded along its shank. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A2), which provides good resistance to rust and chemical exposure. Drive type is internal hex, requiring a hex key or Allen wrench for installation. The uncoated bright finish leaves the base stainless steel exposed, making it suitable for clean environments where plating is undesirable or unnecessary.

This screw is used in general mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and structural fastening where metric hardware is specified. Its DIN 912 standard compliance makes it a direct fit in applications calling out that fastener specification. Partial threading suits applications where the smooth shank is needed to bear shear loads or locate components. This item is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per package, making it appropriate for service shops and contractors stocking metric hardware for ongoing work.

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912 standard metric hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and fixtures calling out an M8 x 1.25 partially threaded fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a correctly sized hex key or Allen wrench matched to the M8 socket cap head. Do not use an undersized key, as it can strip the drive socket. Tighten fasteners per the torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer or applicable engineering standard for Grade A2 stainless steel. When installing into tapped holes, verify thread engagement depth meets design requirements before applying final torque.
