Value Collection MP47542 Hex Socket Cap Screw M8 X 1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP47542 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for metric fastening applications where corrosion resistance and consistent clamping force are required. Manufactured to DIN 912 standards, this screw features an M8 x 1.25 thread size and a 16 mm length under head. The 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction (Material Grade A2) provides strong resistance to rust, oxidation, and moderate chemical exposure. Installation requires a hex key or Allen driver. This fastener suits mechanical assembly, fabrication, and equipment maintenance work performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This screw is suited for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and light structural assembly applications where metric fasteners are specified. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch and DIN 912 dimensional standard make it a common fit in European-spec and metric-dimensioned machinery, HVAC equipment frames, pump assemblies, and general sheet metal or structural fabrication. It is sold with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per transaction, with one piece per package unit.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread for precise fit in standard metric tapped holes
• 16 mm length under head for consistent grip in moderate-depth applications
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement throughout the fastener length
• 18-8 Austenitic Stainless Steel (Grade A2) resists corrosion and oxidation
• DIN 912 standard ensures dimensional consistency and broad interchangeability
• Hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw compatible with any M8 x 1.25 tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a properly sized hex key or Allen driver; use of an undersized key risks rounding the socket drive. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to — applying an anti-seize compound rated for stainless is standard practice. Do not over-torque; stainless fasteners have lower yield strength than alloy steel grades and can seize or stretch if driven beyond specification. Confirm thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly before final torque.
