Value Collection FHS1X1240-025BX M12x1.75 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FHS1X1240-025BX is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for applications where a low-profile, flush-mount fastener is required. It features a 90-degree flat head with an 8.00 mm hex socket drive and is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2 per metric standards. The M12x1.75 thread size and 40.00 mm overall length make it suitable for medium-to-heavy structural and mechanical fastening tasks. The shank is partially threaded, which helps align mating components before full engagement. This fastener conforms to DIN 7991 and is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces, making it appropriate for production, MRO, or field stock replenishment.

This flat socket cap screw is used in general industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications where a countersunk hex-drive fastener is needed and corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade A2 stainless steel performs reliably in mildly corrosive environments, making it a common choice in food processing equipment, marine hardware, chemical handling assemblies, and HVAC structural components. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install these fasteners using a standard hex key or Allen driver.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface for a low-profile installation
• 8.00 mm hex socket drive provides positive torque transfer with common Allen tools
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, offers good corrosion resistance in mildly aggressive environments
• Partially threaded shank aids component alignment during assembly
• Conforms to DIN 7991 fastener standard for consistent dimensional control
• Sold in multiples of 25 for efficient stocking and production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement flat socket cap screw for metric-threaded assemblies requiring a DIN 7991-compliant M12x1.75 countersunk hex-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 8.00 mm hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating surface is properly countersunk to the correct 90-degree angle before seating the fastener. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement on powered assemblies. Do not use impact tools without a torque-limiting adapter, as overdriving stainless steel fasteners can cause galling or thread damage.
