Value Collection 151160PR Set Screw 10-24 X 5/16 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151160PR is a 10-24 UNC flat point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft or within a bore. This screw drives with a 3/32 inch hex key and installs with flush or below-surface seating, making it well suited for applications where a protruding head is not acceptable. At 5/16 inch overall length and 0.01 pounds, it is a compact, high-strength fastener that meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians regularly install this type of fastener in mechanical assemblies.

This set screw is used in light-to-heavy mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, and general maintenance applications. Typical use cases include locking sheaves, couplings, or collars onto shafts where the flat point provides even load distribution against the mating surface without deforming it. The 10-24 UNC thread is a common fractional-inch coarse thread that fits standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for shop stock or volume repair work.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Flat point design distributes clamping load evenly and avoids shaft marring
• 10-24 UNC thread for compatibility with standard fractional-inch tapped holes
• 3/32 inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and ball-end drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• Headless profile allows flush or below-surface installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 10-24 UNC flat point set screw with a 3/32 inch hex drive and 5/16 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. De-energize and lock out all rotating or powered equipment before installing or adjusting set screws per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Apply the correct torque per the applicable fastener standard for the thread size — do not overtighten, as this can strip the hex socket or shear the screw body. Inspect the mating shaft surface for burrs or debris before seating the flat point.
