Value Collection 704243PR Set Screw 8-32 X 1/8 in Cone Point Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 704243PR is a cup-point-style headless set screw in an 8-32 UNC thread with a cone point tip and an overall length of 0.125 inches. Machined from austenitic stainless steel Grade A2, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or mildly chemical environments. The 5/64-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key for recessed installation. This fastener is manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, making it a code-conforming choice for precision mechanical assemblies where a locking or positioning set screw is required.

The 704243PR is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, shaft-collar locking, set-position applications, and component securing tasks across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general industrial work. The cone point concentrates clamping force at a single contact area, making it effective for locking adjustment collars, knobs, or hubs on shafts. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, it is appropriate for service shop stock or production-level fastener inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC headless set screw for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3-compliant cone point fastener in that thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/64-inch hex key; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before accessing the assembly being fastened. Stainless fasteners can gall during installation — apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads when appropriate for the application. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for set screw placement and tightening procedure.
