Value Collection MSOX08090-025BX Oval Head Machine Screw M8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOX08090-025BX is a metric machine screw with an oval head and slotted drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish and conforms to the DIN 964 fastener standard. The M8x1.25 thread and 90 mm overall length make this screw suited for medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The oval head profile sits low against the mating surface, providing a finished appearance in exposed applications. Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals commonly specify this fastener type for panel, enclosure, and general mechanical work.

This screw is used in applications requiring a metric thread form and a flush-profile head. The DIN 964 standard ensures dimensional consistency for replacement or high-volume assembly use. Typical install scenarios include light-gauge sheet metal panels, instrument enclosures, machine guards, and equipment housings where the oval head countersink profile is preferred. The stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode.

Key Features

• M8x1.25 metric thread with 90 mm overall length for deep fastening reach
• Oval head with slotted drive for a low-profile, countersunk finish
• Grade 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to flake, chip, or affect thread fit
• Conforms to DIN 964 dimensional standard for consistent interchangeability
• UNSPSC Code 31161504 for procurement system compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 964-compliant metric machine screw suitable for any application specifying an M8x1.25 oval head slotted fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or assembly personnel using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted insert bit sized to the head recess. A properly sized countersink in the mating material is required to seat the oval head flush. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads is a common field practice.
