Value Collection SCX208130-005BX M8x1.25 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX208130-005BX is a metric hex socket cap screw engineered for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies. With an M8 x 1.25 thread size and a length under head of 130 mm (approximately 5.12 inches), this screw is partially threaded and driven by a standard hex (Allen) key. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A2), providing solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Compliance with DIN 912 ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability across metric fastener applications.

This screw is suited for general mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly work across industrial, commercial, and trade service applications. The partially threaded shank provides a clamping zone that keeps mating parts drawn tightly together without thread engagement through the full grip length. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and millwrights commonly use DIN 912 socket cap screws when fastening equipment panels, brackets, pump housings, and similar components that require a recessed drive head and a clean profile.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread — widely compatible with standard metric tapped holes
• 130 mm length under head with partial threading for positive clamping
• Hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction, Austenitic Grade A2 — corrosion-resistant finish
• Bright/uncoated surface — no coating to chip, flake, or interfere with torque values
• DIN 912 standard — ensures dimensional interchangeability with metric fastener stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and general-purpose replacement or service fastener for any application requiring a DIN 912-compliant M8 x 1.25 hex socket cap screw with a 130 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using a properly sized hex key or hex bit driver rated for the torque requirements of the assembly. Always de-energize, depressurize, or lock out the equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in live mechanical systems. Do not substitute an uncoated stainless steel screw in applications that specifically require a coated or plated fastener for electrical isolation or galvanic compatibility. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
