Value Collection 823124PR M8x1.25 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 823124PR is a metric flat socket cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It features a 90-degree flat head with a hex socket drive, accepting a 5 mm hex key. The M8x1.25 thread and 50 mm overall length make it well suited for flush or countersunk fastening applications where a low-profile head is required. Partial threading along the shank provides a grip zone for load-bearing joints. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. This fastener conforms to DIN 7991 and uses metric thread standards throughout. It is installed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals working on machinery, enclosures, or structural assemblies.

This screw is appropriate for general industrial, mechanical, and equipment-assembly applications requiring a countersunk hex-drive fastener. The flat head seats flush with or below the mating surface, making it suitable for panels, brackets, and housings where a protruding head would interfere with clearance or aesthetics. The metric M8x1.25 thread pitch is common in European-standard machinery and manufactured equipment. Partial threading is standard for this style and provides a smooth shank section between the head and threaded zone.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat head seats flush in countersunk holes for low-profile installations
• Hex socket drive (5 mm) provides high torque transfer in confined spaces
• M8x1.25 metric thread conforms to DIN 7991 fastener standard
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments
• Partially threaded shank for improved grip and load distribution
• 50 mm overall length suits a range of panel and bracket thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 7991 metric flat socket cap screw for use in any M8x1.25 tapped hole requiring a countersunk hex-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5 mm hex key or hex-drive bit; ensure the bit is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Countersink the mating hole to 90 degrees to achieve full flush seating of the flat head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components to live assemblies. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant codes for the installation environment.
