Value Collection FHS1X0880-010BX M8x1.25 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FHS1X0880-010BX is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications across industrial, mechanical, and fabrication settings. It features an M8x1.25 thread with an 80 mm overall length and a 90-degree flat head driven by a 5 mm hex socket. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically active environments. The screw is fully threaded along its entire length, making it well suited for through-hole and thin-material assemblies. Installation is handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with metric fastener systems.

This flat socket cap screw is used in applications where a low-profile or flush-mount fastening solution is required. The 90-degree flat head seats into standard countersunk holes, keeping the fastener surface even with or below the workpiece. Common applications include equipment panels, fixtures, machinery guards, and structural assemblies where head protrusion is not acceptable. The A2 stainless steel construction suits marine, food-service, and outdoor installations where mild corrosion resistance is needed. This screw conforms to DIN 7991 standards and is sold in multiples of 10.

• Meets DIN 7991 fastener standard for consistent dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fitment fastener for metric M8x1.25 countersunk hex socket applications conforming to DIN 7991.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 5 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to the correct 90-degree angle before seating the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when required by the application. Verify thread engagement and torque requirements against the assembly specification before finalizing the joint.
