Value Collection 1408 Hex Socket Cap Screw M8x1.25 80mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1408 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a strong, corrosion-resistant fastener with a low-profile head. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), it provides reliable resistance to rust and oxidation in wet or chemically exposed environments. The screw carries an M8 x 1.25 thread size with an 80mm length under head and is partially threaded along the shank. Drive engagement is via internal hex (Allen), making it compatible with standard hex key toolsets. This fastener conforms to DIN 912 standards and is sold in multiples of 10 per order.

This cap screw is suited for light industrial, mechanical assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, and general trade applications where stainless steel fasteners are specified. The partially threaded shank provides a shoulder bearing surface, which is useful when clamping two components together without thread engagement along the full shank length. It is commonly used by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general contractors wherever a metric DIN 912 socket cap screw is called out in a specification or service manual.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 thread size conforming to DIN 912 standard
• 80mm length under head with partial threading for shoulder-bearing applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no additional coating that could affect thread tolerances
• Internal hex (Allen) drive for high-torque engagement in confined spaces
• Ordered in multiples of 10 to ensure job-quantity availability

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant metric hex socket cap screw for any application specifying an M8 x 1.25 partially threaded cap screw in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized metric hex key or hex bit socket. Verify thread engagement depth and mating material compatibility before installation, particularly in dissimilar-metal assemblies where galvanic corrosion may be a concern. Always follow applicable mechanical or building code fastener specifications for the application. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as galling of the threads can occur without proper lubrication.
