Value Collection 703247PR Set Screw 8-32 X 1/4 in Flat Point Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703247PR is a cup-style flat point set screw designed for locking and positioning applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. Threaded 8-32 UNC with an overall length of 0.25 inches, it is driven by a 5/64-inch hex key. Constructed from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in moderate chemical and moisture environments. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, making it appropriate for instrumentation, HVAC equipment panels, small motors, and other precision assemblies where contamination or oxidation of hardware is a concern.

Flat point set screws are used when the mating surface must not be marred or when the screw bears against a flat on a shaft. Common applications include locking collars, pulleys, knobs, and adjustment mechanisms on residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, pumps, and electrical enclosures. The 8-32 thread size is a standard machine-screw thread found widely in instrument-grade and light-duty mechanical assemblies. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard machine-screw tapped holes
• Flat point geometry prevents shaft or surface damage during installation
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 5/64-inch hex drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• Fractional inch measurement for direct drop-in use in inch-standard assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC flat point set screw suitable for any tapped hole conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 inch-series specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/64-inch hex key; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive socket. De-energize or shut down any equipment before accessing fasteners on rotating or energized assemblies. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur without proper anti-seize compound on the threads. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance and relevant mechanical codes for the assembly type.
