Value Collection LHS4X08016-050BX M8x1.25 16mm Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LHS4X08016-050BX is a low socket cap hex screw designed for metric fastening applications where a reduced head profile is required. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) and left uncoated for a bright finish, this screw meets DIN 6912 standards. The M8x1.25 thread runs fully along the 16mm shank length, measured under the head, and is driven by a 6mm hex socket key. This 50-piece pack suits production runs, maintenance shops, and field technicians who need reliable corrosion-resistant hardware in quantity.

The low socket cap head profile makes this screw a practical choice in assemblies where a standard socket cap head would foul adjacent components or where a lower stack height is necessary. Common applications include light industrial equipment, HVAC equipment panels, pump housings, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies requiring metric fasteners with corrosion resistance. The 18-8 stainless steel construction holds up in mildly corrosive or wet environments where carbon steel fasteners would rust prematurely.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces stack height in tight assemblies
• M8x1.25 fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the full 16mm length
• 18-8 austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in threaded fits
• Conforms to DIN 6912 fastener standard
• 6mm hex socket drive for standard Allen key or hex bit tooling
• Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per box

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6912 metric replacement or production fastener for M8x1.25 threaded applications requiring a low socket cap head profile in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 6mm hex key or hex socket bit; use calibrated torque tooling where fastener load specifications are critical to the assembly. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid galling, which is a known risk when driving stainless steel fasteners — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads can reduce this risk. Verify that the receiving material and thread class are compatible with the M8x1.25 metric thread form before installation.
