Value Collection 2-SC-5C-37 Set Screw 5-40 Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-SC-5C-37 is a cup point set screw designed for secure, flush fastening applications where a protruding head is not practical. Machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement under load. The internal hex drive allows precise torque application in confined spaces. This screw is sold individually and suits trade professionals working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical enclosures, or any application requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener.

This set screw is suited for light-duty clamping and positioning tasks across residential and commercial applications. Typical uses include securing collars, pulleys, and hubs to shafts, or locking adjustment mechanisms in mechanical assemblies. The 5-40 thread and 3/8-inch length make it appropriate for small-diameter components where space is constrained. Grade 316 stainless steel is preferred in environments with exposure to moisture, mild acids, or chlorides, making this fastener a reliable choice in HVAC condensate systems, plumbing fixtures, and poolside equipment.

Key Features

• Cup point design bites into mating surfaces to resist slippage under load
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Internal hex drive allows installation in tight or recessed spaces
• Bright, uncoated finish with no added coating to interfere with thread fit
• 5-40 thread size suitable for small-diameter shaft and collar applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly requiring a 5-40 internal hex cup point set screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with the appropriate hex key or Allen wrench sized for the internal hex drive. Ensure the mating component is properly aligned before tightening. De-energize or shut down any system before servicing assemblies that use this fastener. Avoid overtightening, as excessive torque on small-diameter stainless fasteners can cause galling or thread damage.
