Value Collection 704190PR Set Screw 6-32 X 3/8 in Cone Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 704190PR is a 6-32 x 3/8 inch cone point set screw manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. Set screws of this type are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole and bear directly against a mating surface with their cone point tip to lock components in place under load. This screw uses a 1/16 inch hex (Allen) drive and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. It is suited for applications where corrosion resistance and secure positioning are required, and is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with shafts, collars, and set-screw couplings.

This fastener is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener is needed to secure a collar, pulley, gear, or similar component to a shaft. The cone point geometry concentrates clamping force at a single contact point, providing firm resistance to rotational and axial movement. It is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical applications and is commonly found in HVAC equipment assemblies, pump and motor shaft collars, and general industrial maintenance work. The UNC thread standard and fractional inch sizing make it compatible with standard tapped holes in inch-measurement systems.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread with 3/8 inch overall length for precise fit in standard tapped holes
• Cone point geometry concentrates holding force for firm shaft and collar retention
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 1/16 inch hex drive accepts standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• Headless design sits flush or below surface for clearance-sensitive installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC cone point set screw with a 1/16 inch hex drive in inch-measurement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench; ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration is a concern in the final assembly. Never overtighten set screws against soft shaft materials without verifying load limits, as cone point tips can mar or indent shaft surfaces. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and torque guidance from the equipment OEM.
