Value Collection MSOX08030-050BX M8x1.25 Oval Head Slotted Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOX08030-050BX is a metric machine screw with an oval head and slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel to DIN 964 standards. It features an M8x1.25 thread with an overall length of 30 millimeters and a bright, uncoated finish that exposes the natural stainless surface. This fastener is suited for mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, countersunk oval head is required and corrosion resistance is a priority. Trade professionals in plumbing, HVAC panel fabrication, electrical enclosure work, and general mechanical installation use this screw when a clean, flush-seated fastener is specified. Sold in a minimum quantity of 50 per order.

This screw is used in applications requiring metric threading in stainless steel with an oval countersunk profile. The oval head seats into a countersunk hole, sitting slightly above the surface for a finished appearance. Common install environments include stainless enclosures, equipment panels, marine hardware, and wet or corrosive service areas where carbon steel fasteners would degrade. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it compatible with basic hand tools in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• M8x1.25 metric thread for standard metric tapped holes
• Oval countersunk head profile per DIN 964 for a low-profile seated finish
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments
• Bright uncoated finish preserves natural stainless appearance with no added coating
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Sold in multiples of 50 to meet typical job-lot requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in metric-threaded assemblies requiring an M8x1.25 oval head slotted fastener conforming to DIN 964. Fits any application with a properly sized countersunk hole to accept the oval head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and slot damage. Ensure the mating hole is chamfered to the correct angle to fully seat the oval head before driving to final torque. In stainless-on-stainless assemblies, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling. Confirm thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the applicable mechanical or structural specification before final assembly.
