Value Collection MSOX08025-050BX M8x1.25 Oval Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOX08025-050BX is an M8x1.25 metric machine screw with an oval head and slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel to Grade A2 per DIN 964. The oval head profile sits flush-to-slightly-proud of the mating surface, making it a common choice where a clean, low-profile fastener appearance matters. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 18-8 stainless without added plating. At 25mm overall length, this screw suits medium-depth fastening applications across a wide range of assemblies. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this SKU is sized for shop stock, field kits, and light production use.

This screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, enclosures, and fixtures where metric fasteners are specified and corrosion resistance is a priority. The M8x1.25 thread size is a standard coarse metric pitch widely used in industrial, commercial, and marine environments. Slotted drive requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible in most field tool kits. Trades including millwrights, industrial electricians, equipment installers, and marine technicians commonly work with fasteners in this size and material class.

Key Features

• M8x1.25 coarse metric thread — standard pitch for broad compatibility with metric-tapped assemblies
• Oval head profile per DIN 964 — low-profile appearance with a slightly domed top surface
• Slotted drive — compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• 18-8 stainless steel, Grade A2 — corrosion-resistant for wet, outdoor, or marine-adjacent applications
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating that could chip, flake, or introduce galvanic concerns
• Sold in multiples of 50 — suitable for bench stock replenishment and small-batch production

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an M8x1.25 metric machine screw with an oval head and slotted drive, conforming to DIN 964. Verify thread engagement depth and clearance hole sizing against the specific assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head recess. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is also specified for M8x1.25 coarse pitch before driving the fastener. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or torque to spec per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation — do not overtighten stainless fasteners, as galling can occur. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, consider an anti-seize compound to prevent thread galling during installation.
