Value Collection 151328PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 1 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151328PR is a 3/8-16 UNC flat point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. It measures 1 inch in overall length and is driven with a 3/16-inch hex key. Grade 8 alloy steel provides high tensile strength suitable for demanding clamping and locking applications. The flat point distributes load evenly against the mating surface without marring shafts or bores. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards and is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across industrial and mechanical assembly work.

Flat point set screws in 3/8-16 UNC thread are commonly used to secure collars, hubs, pulleys, gears, and sprockets to shafts in rotating equipment. The flat point is preferred when the mating surface must remain undamaged or when a broad contact area is needed to prevent relative movement. These fasteners are found in both light and heavy industrial equipment, conveyor systems, and general mechanical assemblies where a recessed, low-profile locking fastener is required.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Flat point design distributes clamping force without indenting the mating surface
• 3/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and hex-bit drivers
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• 1 inch overall length suitable for moderate-depth engagement applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC x 1-inch flat point set screw driven by a 3/16-inch hex key, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are installed by machinists and mechanical technicians using a 3/16-inch hex key or hex-bit driver. Always ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before servicing any fastener on a shaft or hub assembly. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the thread size and grade as specified in applicable mechanical standards.
