Value Collection 703245PR Set Screw 8-32 X 3/16 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703245PR is a flat point set screw designed for precise, non-marring clamping and positioning applications. Threaded 8-32 UNC with an overall length of 3/16 inches, it is driven by a 5/64-inch hex key. Manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability in a compact form. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, making it suitable for use in environments where dimensional consistency and material traceability are required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers commonly specify this type of fastener for securing collars, knobs, and shaft-mounted components.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft-locking and component-positioning tasks across general industrial, mechanical, and OEM assembly applications. The flat point style distributes load across the mating surface without penetrating or deforming it, making it appropriate for use on hardened shafts or finished surfaces where marring must be avoided. It is a standard choice wherever a low-profile, fully threaded fastener is needed in a stainless steel grade compatible with mildly corrosive or hygienic environments.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• 3/16-inch overall length in a compact, fully threaded profile
• Flat point design prevents marring or deformation of mating surfaces
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• 5/64-inch hex drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for any application requiring an 8-32 UNC flat point set screw with a 5/64-inch hex drive and 3/16-inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a 5/64-inch hex key. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for the 8-32 thread size and stainless steel material as specified by applicable ASME standards.
