Value Collection 248522 M8x1.25 Hex Socket Cap Screw 60mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 248522 is an M8 x 1.25 metric hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and structural fixturing. The screw measures 60 mm in length under the head and is partially threaded, which helps align mating components and reduces the risk of cross-threading in deeper bores. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), it delivers solid corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and mildly chemical-exposed environments. The bright uncoated finish meets DIN 912 standards. Installation requires a hex key or Allen driver sized for an M8 socket head cap screw.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment mounting, pump and motor assemblies, plumbing fixture brackets, electrical enclosure hardware, and pool equipment framework. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch is one of the most common metric coarse-thread sizes, making this screw a practical stocking item for maintenance shops, field service vehicles, and fabrication operations. The partial threading design is well suited to clamping applications where a smooth shank is needed in the grip area. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric coarse thread, partially threaded for accurate clamping and shank clearance in through-hole applications
• 60 mm length under head accommodates moderate stack-up thicknesses in mechanical assemblies
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive service environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in tight-tolerance tapped holes
• Manufactured to DIN 912 standard for consistent dimensional accuracy and interchangeability
• Hex socket drive allows high torque input in confined spaces where a wrench cannot seat

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 M8 x 1.25 hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped or through-hole application calling for an M8 coarse-thread fastener with a 60 mm length under head in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with the appropriately sized hex key or Allen driver; verify the correct socket size for M8 cap screws before applying torque. Ensure the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid galling, which is a known risk with stainless steel fasteners in stainless or aluminum threads. Apply an anti-seize compound to the thread when installing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to prevent galling and allow future removal. Power down or depressurize any system before accessing fastened components in live mechanical or fluid-handling assemblies.
