Value Collection 151094PR Set Screw 8-32 1/8 in Flat Point Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151094PR is a cup-point-free flat point set screw designed for applications where a flush, non-marring hold is required against a shaft or mating surface. Threaded 8-32 UNC with an overall length of 1/8 inch, this fastener is driven by a 5/64 inch hex key. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, it meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, making it appropriate for precision mechanical assemblies where dimensional consistency and strength are critical. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople commonly encounter this screw size in control components, motor shaft collars, and panel hardware.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft-locking and positioning tasks in both residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include securing shaft collars, set-collar assemblies, gear hubs, and small actuator components where a flat point is specified to prevent shaft damage. The 8-32 UNC thread is a standard size widely used in control hardware, small electric motors, and precision instrument assemblies. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Flat point profile prevents marring or deforming the mating shaft surface
• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in control and motor components
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength relative to the fastener size
• 5/64 inch hex drive allows use of standard hex keys common in trade toolkits
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 for dimensional and mechanical compliance
• Fractional inch measurement type for straightforward specification matching

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC flat point set screw for use in any application requiring a fastener conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912. No specific system or model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are installed and removed by a licensed mechanic or qualified technician using a 5/64 inch hex key. Always de-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before accessing shaft collars or drive components. Do not overtighten small-diameter set screws, as alloy steel threads can strip the tapped hole if torque is applied beyond the fastener rating. Verify thread engagement depth is adequate before returning equipment to service.
