Value Collection 704245PR Set Screw 8-32 X 3/16 in Cone Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 704245PR is a stainless steel set screw designed for secure, flush-to-surface or recessed fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, this screw features a cone point tip that digs into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement. The Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where mild moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. The hex socket drive requires a 5/64 inch hex key for installation. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per pack.

This set screw is used in a wide range of light industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical assembly applications where a headless, flush-sitting fastener is required. Common uses include securing collars, pulleys, gears, knobs, and similar components to shafts or within threaded bores. The cone point configuration is well-suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations where the point is intended to indent the mating shaft surface for maximum holding force.

Key Features

• Cone point tip provides strong resistance to axial and rotational movement
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel offers corrosion resistance for damp or mildly corrosive environments
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and performance standards
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a standard hex key
• UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard inch-thread tapped holes
• Headless design allows flush or below-surface installation

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC threaded, headless cone point set screw with a 3/16 inch overall length, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 specifications.

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. Verify the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. For shaft-locking applications, the cone point will permanently mark the mating surface, so confirm final positioning before fully tightening. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific application.
