Value Collection 151214PR Set Screw 1/4-20 X 1/4 in Flat Point Gr8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151214PR is a 1/4-20 x 1/4 inch flat point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws of this type are fully threaded, headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft by applying direct clamping force at the point contact. This screw uses a 1/8 inch hex (Allen) drive and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Grade 8 alloy steel provides high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The UNC thread standard and fractional inch sizing make this a common choice in industrial, HVAC equipment, and mechanical maintenance applications.

This set screw is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener is required. Flat point set screws are preferred when minimal surface damage to the mating shaft is needed and when the screw must sit flush with the workpiece surface. Typical applications include motor shaft collars, fan hubs, conveyor components, and equipment found in HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial service. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Flat point tip minimizes marring on mating shaft surfaces
• 1/8 inch hex (Allen) drive for use with standard hex keys
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for wide compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Fractional inch sizing for straightforward replacement and sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any mechanical assembly using a 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole requiring a flat point set screw per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/8 inch hex key torqued by hand or with a T-handle driver. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners on rotating or motorized components. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the thread size and grade as specified in the applicable mechanical or equipment service documentation. Inspect the mating shaft and tapped hole for damage or contamination before installation.
