Value Collection 151076PR Set Screw 6-32 X 3/8 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151076PR is a 6-32 x 3/8 inch flat point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole and bear directly against a mating surface to secure components such as collars, hubs, pulleys, and knobs to shafts or housings. This screw is driven with a 1/16 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. The flat point style distributes clamping load across a broad contact area, making it suitable for applications where the mating surface must remain unmarked or where vibration resistance is required. Installed by mechanical technicians and millwrights in light industrial and general assembly settings.

This set screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies wherever a #6-32 UNC threaded hole is specified. Typical applications include securing rotating components to shafts, locking adjustment mechanisms, and retaining small machine parts in position. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides elevated tensile strength compared to lower-grade carbon steel fasteners, making it appropriate for moderate-load and higher-torque clamping requirements in machinery, HVAC equipment, and electrical enclosures. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order with a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with 3/8 inch overall length for compact installations
• Flat point design spreads clamp load and reduces surface marring on the mating component
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and durability
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• Fractional inch measurement type for compatibility with standard inch-based tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series set screw for any application requiring a #6-32 threaded, flat point headless fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16 inch hex key. Before servicing any assembly, de-energize equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures per OSHA 1910.147. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in. Do not exceed the rated torque range for a #6-32 fastener, and inspect threads for damage before installation to avoid cross-threading.
