Value Collection SCX208140-005BX M8x1.25 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX208140-005BX is a metric hex socket cap screw sized M8 x 1.25 with a 140 mm (5.51 inches) length under head. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel in Material Grade A2, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor environments. The drive type is internal hex (Allen), allowing high torque application in tight spaces. Threading is partial, following the DIN 912 fastener standard. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces and is used by maintenance technicians, millwrights, mechanical contractors, and fabricators working with metric-spec assemblies.

This fastener suits general industrial, commercial, and light structural applications where a metric M8 thread pitch of 1.25 and a longer 140 mm shank length are required. Typical scenarios include machine frame assembly, equipment mounting, enclosure fabrication, and fluid-system component attachment where stainless steel is specified to resist oxidation. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural stainless surface without added platings that could affect dimensional tolerance in close-fit bores.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread, 140 mm length under head for deep-grip applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2 — corrosion-resistant in wet and chemical environments
• Partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to act as a locating or shear surface
• Internal hex (Allen) drive for high torque in confined spaces
• Meets DIN 912 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Bright uncoated finish — no added platings that could affect bore fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M8 x 1.25 threaded bores in industrial machinery, equipment frames, and fabricated assemblies specifying A2 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a correctly sized metric hex key or Allen driver — use of an undersized key risks rounding the drive socket. Verify the receiving bore is clean and fully tapped to depth before driving the fastener. When torquing into stainless steel threaded components, apply an appropriate anti-galling compound to prevent thread seizure. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the specific application and load requirements.
