Value Collection 605155PR Set Screw 8-32 X 3/8 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 605155PR is an 8-32 x 3/8 inch oval point set screw made from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole and bear against a shaft or surface to prevent rotational or axial movement without requiring a through-hole or external hardware. This screw uses a 5/64 inch hex drive for installation. Its oval point reduces surface marring compared to cup or cone point styles, making it a common choice when contact stress on the mating part must be limited. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assembly technicians install this fastener in precision applications where a low-profile, flush-mount locking solution is required.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and similar components requiring secure rotational fixation. The 8-32 UNC thread size and 3/8 inch overall length make it appropriate for compact assemblies with limited depth. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, which specify dimensional and mechanical property requirements for socket set screws used across industrial and commercial applications. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Oval point reduces surface damage to mating shafts compared to cup or cone point styles
• 5/64 inch hex drive for standard hex key installation
• UNC 8-32 thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 8-32 socket set screw for use in any tapped hole conforming to 8-32 thread specifications where an oval point, 3/8 inch overall length fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the receiving hole is cleanly tapped and free of debris before threading the screw in. Power down and de-energize any rotating machinery before servicing fasteners on shafts or collars. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the 5/64 inch drive to avoid rounding the socket.
