Value Collection 248960 M8x1.25 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 248960 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw in M8 x 1.25 thread size with a 16 mm length under head. Made from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), it delivers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation in confined spaces where a wrench cannot reach. This fastener conforms to DIN 912, the widely recognized metric socket head cap screw standard. It is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural fastening tasks across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications.

This screw is a common choice in trade and industrial settings where metric fasteners are required. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch is a standard coarse-thread configuration used throughout equipment, machinery, and mechanical systems. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the entire grip length, making it appropriate for shallow or thin mounting surfaces. Installers working on equipment panels, brackets, pump housings, and similar assemblies will find this fastener appropriate for the task.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 coarse metric thread for broad compatibility with standard metric hardware
• 16 mm length under head provides full thread engagement in typical bracket and panel applications
• Fully threaded shank maximizes holding strength in thin or shallow fastening surfaces
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Internal hex drive allows installation in tight clearances using a standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Conforms to DIN 912 fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw for use in any assembly requiring an M8 x 1.25 thread fastener with a 16 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex key or Allen driver matched to the M8 socket head. Ensure the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when working with stainless-to-stainless thread engagement. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment codes for torque requirements specific to your assembly.
