Value Collection 703243PR Set Screw 8-32 X 1/8 in Flat Point Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703243PR is a headless set screw designed for clamping and positioning applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. It features a flat point tip and an internal hex drive sized at 5/64 inches, driven with a standard hex key. The screw is manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. The thread specification is 8-32 UNC with an overall length of 1/8 inches. This fastener conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assemblers working in industrial, HVAC, or mechanical service environments commonly use this fastener type to secure collars, pulleys, knobs, and shaft-mounted components.

This set screw is suited for light-duty clamping and locking tasks on small-diameter shafts and threaded bores in both residential and commercial mechanical assemblies. Its 8-32 UNC thread makes it a common choice in instrument panels, fan blade hubs, motor shaft collars, and similar precision assemblies where a low-profile fastener is necessary. The flat point distributes load across the mating surface without marring soft shaft materials as aggressively as cup or cone point designs. This SKU is sold as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Flat point tip reduces surface marring on mating shaft or bore
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped bores
• 5/64 inches internal hex drive accepts standard hex keys
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• Overall length of 1/8 inches suits shallow-bore and thin-collar applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC headless set screw for use in any tapped bore or collar conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/64 inches hex key; confirm the mating bore is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving. De-energize or power down any associated equipment before servicing components that use this fastener. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration resistance is required, following the compound manufacturer guidelines. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque on small-diameter stainless fasteners can cause galling or thread damage.
