Value Collection FHS1X0860-010BX Flat Socket Cap Screw M8x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FHS1X0860-010BX is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. It features a 90-degree flat head driven by a 5 mm hex socket and is fully threaded along its 60 mm overall length with an M8x1.25 thread pitch. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2, it provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or mildly chemical environments. This fastener conforms to DIN 7991 and is suited for mechanical assemblies, machinery, and structural connections where a low-profile head is required.

This screw is used in a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment frames, pump housings, enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where the fastener head must sit flush with or below the mating surface. The M8x1.25 metric thread is a standard coarse-pitch size common in European and ISO-standard equipment. Its fully threaded design maximizes thread engagement across the full 60 mm length, making it well-suited for thinner material stack-ups or applications requiring maximum holding strength throughout the grip length.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat head countersunk profile for flush installation
• 5 mm hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or socket-bit drivers
• Fully threaded 60 mm overall length for maximum thread engagement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Conforms to DIN 7991 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• M8x1.25 metric coarse-pitch thread, compatible with standard M8 tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991-compliant M8x1.25 metric flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a countersunk hex-socket fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized countersunk hole to seat the 90-degree flat head flush with the workpiece surface. Use a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate 5 mm hex key or bit to avoid stripping the drive socket. Verify that the mating tapped hole meets M8x1.25 thread specification before driving the fastener. As with all stainless steel fasteners, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound where thread galling is a concern.
