Value Collection 703470PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 5/8 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703470PR is a 3/8-16 x 5/8-inch flat point set screw manufactured from austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2. The hex socket drive accepts a 3/16-inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Flat point set screws exert clamping force against a shaft or surface without penetrating it, making them the correct choice when marring or deformation of the mating part is not acceptable. This fastener is suited for use in assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as food processing equipment, marine hardware, and chemical handling fixtures. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This set screw is used in shaft collar, pulley, and gear hub applications where the flat point distributes load across a flat surface or a machined flat on a shaft. The UNC 3/8-16 thread pitch is a standard coarse-thread designation common in general industrial and OEM assembly applications. The austenitic Grade A2 stainless construction provides good resistance to oxidation and mild corrosive environments without heat treatment. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Flat point geometry distributes clamping load without penetrating or marring the mating shaft surface
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance for wet or chemically active environments
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for standard hex key or hex bit installation
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• UNC 3/8-16 coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Overall length of 5/8 inch suits medium-depth threaded bosses and collars

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 3/8-16 flat point set screw per ASME/ANSI B18.3, suitable for any tapped hole conforming to that thread specification where a flat point drive configuration is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/16-inch hex key or hex bit driver. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before accessing shaft collars, pulleys, or hubs. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration loosening is a concern in the application. Do not exceed the torque rating specified by the assembly designer for the thread size and material combination in use.
