Value Collection 42053 M8 X 1.25 X 18mm Hex Cap Screw 50-pack

Product Description

The Value Collection 42053 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw engineered to metric specifications for secure fastening in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. Built from Grade 8.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers the strength and corrosion resistance required in demanding trade environments. The M8 x 1.25 thread profile and 18 mm length under head make it a standard fastener for equipment assembly, mounting brackets, and machinery maintenance. A 13 mm hex drive keeps installation straightforward with common hand tools and power drivers. Sold in a package of 50 pieces, this SKU suits both bench stock and job-site supply needs.

This fastener is appropriate for a wide range of metric-threaded applications across manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, industrial machinery, and general mechanical service work. The Grade 8.8 rating indicates medium-high tensile strength, making it suitable for load-bearing joints that require a reliable metric bolt without upgrading to high-alloy grades. Zinc plating provides baseline corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty outdoor installations. Tradespeople, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on metric-specification equipment will find this a practical bench-stock fastener.

Key Features

• Grade 8.8 steel construction provides medium-high tensile strength suitable for load-bearing joints
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty service environments
• Fully threaded shank along the entire length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 13 mm hex drive is compatible with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Conforms to DIN 933 and ISO 4017 standards for consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric hex head cap screw conforming to DIN 933 and ISO 4017 dimensional standards, compatible with any M8 x 1.25 metric-threaded application requiring a fully threaded fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or any qualified trade professional working with metric fasteners. Always ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation, and use a calibrated torque wrench appropriate for Grade 8.8 fasteners per the equipment manufacturer specifications. De-energize and lock out any machinery before performing fastener service on mechanical assemblies. Do not substitute this fastener in applications requiring a higher-grade or fine-pitch thread specification without engineering review.
