Value Collection 248487 M8x1.25 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 248487 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in a wide range of industrial and trade applications. The M8 x 1.25 metric thread profile and 20 mm length under head make it suited for mid-load bolted connections where precision fit and corrosion resistance are required. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it provides solid resistance to rust and oxidation. The hex socket drive requires an Allen key or hex bit driver, enabling high torque application in tight spaces. This fastener conforms to DIN 912 standard.

This screw is used across mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general industrial maintenance. Its fully threaded shank provides uniform grip along the entire engaged length, making it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole configurations. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture exposure is a concern. Installers working in corrosive or wet service conditions frequently specify Grade A2 stainless hardware for longevity and code compliance.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread — standard coarse pitch for wide tool and hardware compatibility
• 20 mm length under head — suits medium-depth through-hole and blind-hole applications
• Fully threaded shank — maximizes thread engagement for consistent clamping force
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion resistant for wet or outdoor service
• Hex socket drive — allows high-torque installation in confined spaces with Allen or hex bit tooling
• DIN 912 standard — ensures dimensional interchangeability with other compliant fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for any M8 x 1.25 metric threaded application conforming to DIN 912 dimensional specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex key or hex socket bit driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes when specifying fastener grade for load-bearing connections. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments where galvanic corrosion is a risk without appropriate isolation measures.
