Value Collection 703185PR Set Screw 6-32 X 3/16 in Flat Point Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703185PR is a 6-32 UNC flat point set screw manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. Measuring 3/16 inches in overall length, it is driven by a 1/16-inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Set screws of this type are used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft without a projecting head. The flat point style distributes clamping force across the shaft surface without marring it. Grade A2 stainless provides solid corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this fastener.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft retention in small mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, HVAC components, and general manufacturing applications where a low-profile, headless fastener is required. The 6-32 thread size and 3/16-inch length make it appropriate for compact assemblies with limited axial space. The flat point is preferred in applications where shaft marring must be minimized or where the screw bears against a hardened flat. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes in that size range
• Flat point distributes load across the shaft face and minimizes surface damage
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in humid or mildly corrosive environments
• 1/16-inch hex drive allows installation in tight clearances with a standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 for dimensional and material compliance
• 3/16-inch overall length suits compact, space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or general-use replacement set screw for any assembly requiring a 6-32 UNC, 3/16-inch flat point headless fastener with a 1/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install with a calibrated 1/16-inch hex key; do not use worn or undersized drivers, as the small drive recess strips easily under torque. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Power down and de-energize any equipment before accessing shaft-mounted components. Follow the equipment manufacturer's assembly specifications for seating depth and engagement.
