Value Collection MAFS0080016CP M8x1.25 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MAFS0080016CP is a metric flat socket cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It features an M8x1.25 thread size and an overall length of 16 mm, with full threading along the entire shaft. The 90-degree flat head accepts a 5 mm hex socket drive, allowing installation in countersunk applications where a flush or sub-flush finish is required. This fastener is dimensioned to DIN 7991 standard and is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance applications where corrosion resistance and a low-profile head are priorities.

This screw is used in applications requiring a countersunk metric fastener with stainless corrosion resistance. Typical install scenarios include machine frames, enclosures, brackets, and structural panels in both indoor and outdoor environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in mildly corrosive environments such as food processing equipment, marine-adjacent installations, and chemical exposure settings. Installers working in plumbing, HVAC equipment assembly, pool system fabrication, and general mechanical trades will encounter this fastener type regularly.

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991-compliant metric flat socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an M8x1.25 countersunk hex socket fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to 90 degrees to achieve full head seating and flush finish. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless threads, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling. Torque to the fastener specification appropriate for the mating material and joint design as determined by the installing technician or engineer.
