Value Collection 703425PR Set Screw 5/16-18 X 3/8 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703425PR is a flat point set screw designed for secure, non-marring clamping and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener offers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread with an overall length of 3/8 inches and is driven by a 5/32-inch hex key. Conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, this screw is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with shaft collars, pulleys, knobs, and similar components.

This set screw is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical fastening tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Typical applications include securing rotating components to shafts, locking adjustable assemblies, and fixing collars on drive shafts where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The flat point style distributes clamping force across a surface without leaving a deep impression, making it suitable for use on softer shaft materials or where shaft integrity must be preserved.

Key Features

• Flat point tip distributes load without gouging shaft surfaces
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 5/32-inch hex drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• Fractional inch measurements throughout for straightforward field use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16-18 UNC flat point set screw with a 5/32-inch hex drive and 3/8-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Before installation, ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris, and that the mating shaft or component is properly aligned. Do not exceed the rated drive capacity of the hex socket to avoid rounding the drive recess. Follow applicable machinery and fastener torque guidelines for Grade A2 stainless steel fasteners.
