Value Collection HC1X08050-050BX M8 Hex Cap Screw 50mm Box 50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC1X08050-050BX is a metric hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in industrial, trade, and maintenance applications. It features an M8 x 1.25 thread profile with a 50 mm length under head and is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. The screw is partially threaded per DIN 931 standards and requires a 13 mm hex wrench or socket for installation. This fastener is well suited for plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors who need a reliable metric stainless fastener for equipment mounting, panel assembly, or mechanical connections.

This screw is commonly used in commercial and residential mechanical systems where metric fasteners are specified and corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include mounting HVAC equipment frames, securing pump assemblies, attaching panel covers, and general structural fastening on equipment exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The DIN 931 partial-thread geometry provides strong clamping force on thicker material assemblies where full threading is not required. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it practical for service stock or ongoing installation work.

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 931-compliant M8 x 1.25 metric hex head cap screw suitable for any application specifying an 18-8 or Grade A2 stainless steel partially threaded metric hex fastener of this size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical trades using a 13 mm socket, box-end wrench, or hex driver. Always verify thread engagement depth and mating nut or tapped hole compatibility before final torque. Do not mix metric and imperial fasteners in the same assembly. When installing in stainless-to-stainless applications, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling.
