Value Collection 248683 M8x1.25 Hex Socket Cap Screw 40mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 248683 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or recessed fastener with high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Sized at M8 x 1.25 with a 40 mm length under head, this fastener is partially threaded and driven by a standard hex (Allen) key. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it meets the DIN 912 fastener standard. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance work across industrial, commercial, and trade settings where stainless construction is required for longevity.

This screw is commonly used in machine building, structural brackets, pump housings, HVAC equipment frames, and general metalwork where a clean cap-head profile and corrosion-resistant fastener are needed. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch is a standard coarse metric thread, making replacement and sourcing straightforward. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for job-site stocking, maintenance kits, or production assembly use.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 coarse metric thread — standard pitch for broad tool compatibility
• 40 mm length under head — partially threaded shank for clamping force in through-hole applications
• Hex socket drive — requires standard hex key or socket driver
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion resistant for wet, outdoor, or chemical-exposure environments
• Conforms to DIN 912 fastener standard for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces — suited for bulk stocking and repeat-use applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or general-use replacement hex socket cap screw for any application calling for a DIN 912 M8 x 1.25 partially threaded fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a mechanic, millwright, HVAC technician, or plumber depending on the assembly. Use the correct metric hex key or T-handle driver sized for M8 socket cap screws. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners on live machinery or electrical enclosures.
