Value Collection MSOX08045-025BX M8x1.25 Oval Slotted Screw 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOX08045-025BX is a metric machine screw with an oval head and slotted drive, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel (A2) with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 964, this screw features an M8x1.25 thread size and an overall length of 45 mm. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface, providing a low-profile, finished appearance often preferred in exposed or aesthetic-critical assemblies. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals use DIN-standard fasteners where corrosion resistance and metric thread accuracy are required. This package contains 25 pieces, making it suitable for small-batch repair work or maintaining a shop supply stock.

This fastener is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial settings. Its stainless steel 18-8 A2 composition makes it appropriate for installations with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives, such as HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, and electrical enclosures. The DIN 964 standard ensures dimensional consistency for use in metric-threaded components. Applications typically involve fastening sheet metal, light structural components, or equipment covers where a countersunk-style oval head finish is preferred.

Key Features

• M8x1.25 metric thread with 45 mm overall length for precise dimensional fit in DIN-standard applications
• Oval head slotted drive allows flush-to-slightly-raised seating with a finished appearance
• Grade 18-8 A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in moisture-exposed environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or introduce galvanic incompatibility concerns
• Conforms to DIN 964 standard for dimensional interchangeability with other metric fastener components
• Sold in a 25-piece package to support small-run jobs or bench stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 964-compliant metric replacement fastener for M8x1.25 threaded assemblies requiring an oval head slotted screw in stainless steel A2 grade.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized appropriately for the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical enclosures or HVAC panels. Avoid overtightening stainless fasteners into stainless-threaded components, as galling can occur — applying an anti-seize compound is a common field practice. Follow applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for the equipment being serviced.
