Value Collection 703469PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 1/2 in Flat Point Ss A2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703469PR is a flat point set screw designed for clamping and positioning applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. Manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this screw offers corrosion resistance suitable for industrial, marine-adjacent, and general mechanical assemblies. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread with an overall length of 0.5 inches and is driven by a 3/16-inch hex key. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers install this type of fastener where a cup or cone point would damage a shaft or mating surface.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft collars, gears, pulleys, and similar mechanical components where a flat bearing point is needed to avoid marring the shaft. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pitch is a common size found across a wide range of industrial and OEM equipment. Its stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments with moisture exposure or where mild corrosion resistance is a factor in fastener selection.

Key Features

• Flat point geometry minimizes surface damage to mating shafts and components
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance
• 3/16-inch internal hex drive for precise torque application with a standard hex key
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 fastener standards
• 0.5-inch overall length suits shallow-depth clamping applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC set screw for use in any tapped 3/8-16 hole requiring a flat point drive configuration per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and machinists using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before installing or removing set screws in rotating components. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. Do not exceed the torque range appropriate for A2 stainless fasteners, as overtightening can cause galling in stainless threads — applying an anti-galling compound is a common field practice.
