Value Collection 151016PR Set Screw 5-40 X 1/8 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151016PR is a cup-point-style flat point set screw designed for precision clamping and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies. This fastener measures 5-40 thread size at 1/8 inch overall length and is manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel for high tensile strength and resistance to deformation under load. Driven by a 1/16 inch hex key, the flat point tip distributes clamping force across a flat surface, making it well suited for securing components without marring a shaft. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency and performance reliability across production and repair applications.

This set screw is used in applications where a headless fastener is required to hold a collar, gear, pulley, or similar component against a shaft or bore. The flat point design is preferred when repeated adjustment is anticipated or when the mating surface must remain undamaged. Common install environments include light machinery, HVAC equipment assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, and general mechanical fabrication. This fastener is ordered in multiples of 100 units minimum.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Flat point tip prevents shaft deformation during repeated adjustment cycles
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard Allen or hex key sets
• Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard for broad compatibility with tapped holes
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and performance standards
• Headless design sits flush or below the surface of the mating component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 5-40 UNC flat point set screw with a 1/16 inch hex drive, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench; ensure the wrench seats fully to avoid rounding the drive recess. Power down and de-energize any associated equipment before accessing mechanical assemblies containing set screws. Do not exceed the rated torque for a 5-40 Grade 8 fastener as specified by applicable mechanical or equipment codes. Inspect the tapped hole for cleanliness and proper thread engagement before driving the screw to full seating depth.
