Value Collection 151136PR Set Screw 8-32 X 5/8 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151136PR is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a flat point and hex drive, sized 8-32 x 5/8 inches overall length. Set screws of this type are headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a gear, collar, or pulley — against a shaft by applying clamping force at the point of contact. The flat point distributes load across the shaft surface without marring it, making it well suited for applications where the shaft must remain undamaged. Drive engagement is through a 5/64-inch hex key socket. This part meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards.

This set screw is used across a wide range of mechanical assembly applications including HVAC equipment, motors, pumps, and general industrial machinery where a hardened, reliable fastener is needed to lock rotating or sliding components in place. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and torsional strength suitable for demanding service conditions. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors during equipment assembly or repair.

Key Features

• Flat point design distributes clamping force without gouging the shaft surface
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high hardness and torsional strength
• 8-32 UNC thread for consistent engagement in standard tapped holes
• 5/64-inch hex key drive for precise torque application in tight spaces
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards for dimensional and mechanical conformance
• Overall length of 5/8 inches suits medium-depth clamping applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC set screw for use in any tapped hole conforming to that thread specification across mechanical, HVAC, and industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Set screws are installed by mechanical technicians using a properly sized hex key — in this case 5/64 inch — to avoid rounding the drive socket. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing rotating components. Tighten to the equipment manufacturer's specified torque for the fastener size; do not over-tighten, as this can strip the threads in the tapped hole. Thread locker compound may be applied when vibration is a concern.
