Value Collection 605425BR Set Screw 5/8-11 X 1 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 605425BR is a 5/8-11 UNC set screw with an oval point, manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. At 1 inch in overall length, this fastener is driven with a 5/16-inch hex key and is built to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. The oval point geometry reduces surface marring on the mating shaft while still providing reliable holding force under vibration and load. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals use set screws of this type for securing collars, pulleys, gears, and hubs to shafts in mechanical assemblies across HVAC, industrial, and commercial maintenance applications.

This set screw is suited for use wherever a 5/8-11 UNC threaded socket is required and a low-profile, flush-mount fastener is preferred over a headed bolt. The oval point is a common choice when light shaft contact is needed without permanent indentation. Typical install scenarios include motor shaft collars, fan hubs, sheaves, and similar rotating components that require periodic adjustment or removal. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction handles high-torque applications where standard steel fasteners would be inadequate.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC thread size with 1-inch overall length for deep-engagement applications
• Oval point reduces shaft damage compared to cup or cone point styles
• Grade 8 alloy steel provides high tensile and proof-load strength
• 5/16-inch hex drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any mechanical assembly using a 5/8-11 UNC internally threaded set screw socket requiring an oval point style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician using a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-style driver. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the hex socket or the rated strength of the mating threaded material. Inspect threads for damage before installation and replace any fastener showing signs of galling or stripping.
