Value Collection 42342 M12 X 1.25 X 30mm Hex Cap Screw

Product Description

The Value Collection 42342 is a metric hex head cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a fine-pitch thread and reliable clamping strength. The screw features an M12 x 1.25 thread size with a 30 mm length under head and is fully threaded from tip to head bearing surface. Made from Grade 8.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it delivers solid mechanical performance with basic corrosion resistance. The 19 mm hex drive allows installation with standard metric wrenches or sockets. Conforms to DIN 961 and ISO 8676 standards. Suitable for use by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers.

This fastener is used in metric mechanical assemblies where a fine-pitch M12 thread is specified. The fine 1.25 mm pitch provides improved thread engagement and resistance to vibration loosening compared to coarse-pitch equivalents. Typical applications include machinery assembly, automotive components, structural brackets, and equipment maintenance. The zinc-plated finish offers light corrosion protection suitable for indoor or controlled-environment use. This screw is sold in packages of 50, making it practical for production or service work requiring multiple fasteners of the same specification.

Key Features

• M12 x 1.25 fine-pitch thread for improved vibration resistance and precise thread engagement
• Fully threaded shank along the 30 mm length under head
• Grade 8.8 steel construction for reliable tensile and yield strength in standard metric fastener applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 19 mm hex drive compatible with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Conforms to DIN 961 and ISO 8676 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or production fastener for any assembly calling out an M12 x 1.25 x 30 mm fully threaded hex head cap screw per DIN 961 or ISO 8676.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, maintenance technician, or assembler familiar with metric fastener specifications. Always verify thread pitch and material compatibility with the mating component before installation. Do not exceed the torque limits defined by the Grade 8.8 rating for M12 fasteners as specified in the applicable engineering standard. Inspect the zinc-plated finish for damage before use, as compromised coating may reduce corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments.
