Value Collection 131019PR Set Screw 6-32 X 1/4 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 131019PR is a 6-32 x 1/4 inch oval point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws of this type are fully threaded, headless fasteners tightened with a 1/16 inch hex key and used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft or within a bore. The oval point tip concentrates clamping load on a small contact area, reducing shaft damage compared to flat or cup point designs. This screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This set screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a semi-permanent, low-profile fastener is required. Typical applications include securing setscrews in HVAC blower wheel hubs, motor shaft collars, valve stems, and general industrial equipment. The UNC thread standard (6-32) is common in North American assemblies. The 1/4 inch overall length makes it appropriate for thin-walled or space-constrained applications. This part is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock or production-line use.

Key Features

• Oval point tip reduces shaft marring compared to cup or cone point designs
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and torsional strength
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard Allen or hex key wrenches
• UNC 6-32 thread for broad compatibility with standard North American tapped holes
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Compact 1/4 inch overall length suits tight or shallow installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 6-32 set screw for use in any tapped hole conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications requiring a 1/4 inch overall length oval point headless fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws on motor shafts, blower hubs, or drive components in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not exceed the rated torsional capacity of the hex drive socket; use a properly sized key to avoid stripping. Inspect the mating tapped hole for thread damage before installation.
