114512 - Brass Bolt Hex- M8-1.25 x 50mm

Hex head bolts or set screws are a hexagonal head bolt with metal thread, that can either fastened with a nut and washer or into a female thread or component. 

Solid brass composition of these fasteners delivers non-sparking, non-magnetic properties essential for safety-critical applications including aerospace, offshore oil & gas, and explosive environments.
Unlike harder materials, brass functions as a sacrificial wear component that protects the primary machine from damage. When brass contacts harder surfaces—such as steel shafts, cast iron housings, or precision-machined components—the brass wears preferentially, preserving the integrity of expensive equipment. This engineered wear characteristic makes brass screws ideal for applications where fastener failure or galling would compromise machinery performance, including deck winches, hydraulic systems, drilling rigs, and marine equipment where replacement costs and downtime far exceed the cost of the fastener itself.
