Value Collection 703473PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703473PR is a flat point set screw designed for threaded fastening applications where a flush, non-marring contact point is required. Manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread and 3/4-inch overall length make it suitable for medium-duty clamping and positioning tasks. Drive engagement is via a 3/16-inch internal hex (Allen) socket. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, confirming dimensional and mechanical compliance for industrial and trade applications.

Flat point set screws are used where shaft or surface damage must be minimized at the contact point. Common applications include shaft collars, gear hubs, valve stems, HVAC equipment assemblies, and mechanical component retention. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread size in light industrial and trade fabrication. Grade A2 stainless construction suits environments where mild-to-moderate corrosion resistance is needed without the cost of Grade A4 or higher alloys.

Key Features

• Flat point tip minimizes surface marring and shaft damage at the contact point
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 3/16-inch internal hex drive for standard Allen wrench or hex key installation
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and mechanical standards
• Minimum order quantity of 5 pieces for consistent job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental fastener for any assembly using a 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole requiring a flat point set screw per ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen wrench; ensure the driver is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain set screws. Thread engagement and preload should conform to applicable mechanical or equipment specifications for the assembly. Inspect threads for contamination or damage before installation to ensure proper seating.
