Value Collection 605282PR Set Screw 5/16-24x5/16 Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 605282PR is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with an oval point, designed for secure, low-profile fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. Threaded 5/16-24 (UNF) and measuring 5/16 inches in overall length, it is driven by a 5/32-inch hex key. The oval point provides a localized contact area that reduces shaft damage while maintaining positive locking force. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material performance. It is used by millwrights, machinists, and maintenance technicians working on rotating equipment, shafts, and mechanical subassemblies.

This set screw is suited for residential and industrial mechanical applications where a headless fastener is required to secure a collar, pulley, gear, or similar component to a shaft. The oval point is preferred when the mating shaft has a pre-drilled locating cup or when a smooth, recessed contact point is needed to minimize shaft marring. It is commonly installed during equipment assembly, repair, or retrofit work in manufacturing, HVAC mechanical systems, and general industrial maintenance.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Oval point minimizes shaft damage while providing reliable holding force
• 5/16-24 UNF thread for precise, fine-pitch engagement
• 5/32-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• Headless profile allows flush or below-surface installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF set screw for use in any application calling for a 5/16-24 x 5/16-inch oval point headless fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or qualified maintenance technicians using a 5/32-inch hex key. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for the thread size and grade as specified by the assembly design. Applying thread-locking compound is at the discretion of the design specification; do not use compounds not rated for the service environment.
