Value Collection 2-SC-8C-75 Set Screw 8-32 Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-SC-8C-75 is a cup point set screw designed for secure, friction-based fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments where standard steel fasteners would fail. The 8-32 thread and 0.75-inch length make it well-suited for clamping collars, hubs, and shafts in light- to medium-duty applications. The hex drive socket provides reliable torque transfer during installation. It ships uncoated, preserving the inherent corrosion resistance of the 316 alloy. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople regularly use this screw type for equipment assembly and component retention.

This set screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The cup point digs into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement without the need for a protruding head. Typical install scenarios include securing pulleys, sprockets, shaft collars, and knobs to shafts. Its stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in environments subject to moisture, mild chemicals, or periodic washdown.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft material to resist rotation and axial movement
• 8-32 thread size for use in standard light-duty mechanical assemblies
• Hex drive socket for precise torque application with a hex key or Allen wrench
• Uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 316 alloy
• 0.75-inch length suitable for standard collar and hub clamping depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring an 8-32 threaded cup point set screw in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized hex key or Allen wrench matching the socket drive. Always ensure the receiving component is drilled and tapped to the 8-32 thread specification before driving the screw. De-energize or fully shut down any equipment before accessing rotating shafts or mechanical assemblies. Avoid overtightening, which can deform the cup point or strip the thread in softer mating materials.
