Value Collection 703474PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 1 in Flat Point Ss A2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 703474PR is a 3/8-16 x 1 inch flat point set screw manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. It is driven by a 3/16 inch hex key and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Set screws of this type are used to secure a component — such as a collar, pulley, gear, or hub — against a shaft or mating surface without a protruding head. The flat point style distributes clamping force across the contact surface, making it well suited for applications where shaft marring must be minimized. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This set screw is appropriate for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, and general manufacturing environments. The Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for moderately corrosive or outdoor-exposed service conditions. The Unified National Coarse thread form ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes. This fastener ships with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces per order and a package quantity of 1 per unit listing.

Key Features

• Flat point tip distributes load and reduces shaft damage compared to cup or cone point styles
• 3/16 inch internal hex drive accepts standard hex keys and L-wrenches
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and mechanical standards
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Headless design sits fully flush or below the mounting surface when fully installed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension set screw for any application with a 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole requiring a flat point, hex-drive fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 3/16 inch hex key or L-wrench. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before installing or adjusting set screws on shaft-mounted components. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the fastener by using extensions or impact tools on the hex key.
