Value Collection HC1X08060-050BX M8 Hex Cap Screw 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC1X08060-050BX is a metric hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications across trade and industrial settings. It features an M8 x 1.25 thread profile with a 60 mm length under head and partial threading per DIN 931. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2, the fastener provides solid corrosion resistance without the weight penalty of heavier alloys. The 13 mm hex drive allows installation with standard metric wrenches or sockets. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 units. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors commonly stock metric fasteners of this type for equipment mounting, panel assembly, and structural connections.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where metric hardware is specified. Partial threading per DIN 931 makes it appropriate for through-bolt connections in thicker material stacks where a smooth shank section is required to prevent thread engagement in the bearing surface. Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for outdoor equipment mounts, pool equipment enclosures, and damp or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread, 60 mm length under head — covers a wide range of standard bolt patterns
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion resistant for wet or outdoor service
• Partially threaded per DIN 931 — smooth shank section suitable for structural through-bolting
• 13 mm hex drive — compatible with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Minimum order quantity of 5 units — appropriate for service stock and small-batch jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 931 metric hex head cap screw suitable for any application specifying an M8 x 1.25 x 60 mm partially threaded fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 13 mm metric wrench or socket driver. Confirm the mating thread in the nut or tapped hole is also M8 x 1.25 before installation to avoid cross-threading. For stainless steel fasteners, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling under torque, particularly in stainless-to-stainless connections. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque requirements for the specific joint being assembled.
