Value Collection -47549-2 M8 Hex Socket Cap Screw Din 912

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -47549-2 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for mechanical assemblies and structural fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. This screw features an M8 x 1.25 thread and a 70 mm length under head with partial threading along the shank. It is driven with a hex (Allen) key and conforms to DIN 912 standard geometry. The screw is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) with a bright uncoated finish, making it suitable for applications where rust resistance and clean appearance matter. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians commonly specify this fastener in food processing, marine, and general industrial environments.

This fastener is appropriate for a wide range of general mechanical and structural applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The partial threading provides a smooth shank section useful in applications requiring a clamping grip or precise alignment between mating components. The M8 x 1.25 metric thread pitch is a standard coarse designation, compatible with metric tapped holes and metric hex nuts of the same specification. It is commonly installed in machine frames, equipment enclosures, brackets, and similar assemblies where a flush or low-profile cap head is preferred over a hex head or bolt style.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric coarse thread for compatibility with standard metric tapped holes
• 70 mm length under head with partial threading along the shank
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction, Material Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish with no additional plating or treatment
• Hex socket drive for use with Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Manufactured to DIN 912 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard metric M8 x 1.25 tapped holes conforming to DIN 912 geometry. Suitable for applications requiring an A2 stainless steel hex socket cap screw in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a correctly sized hex (Allen) key or hex socket bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Confirm the tapped hole thread specification matches M8 x 1.25 before installation. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel threads to prevent galling. Do not overtighten — refer to the equipment manufacturer torque specification for M8 fasteners in the applicable material.
