Value Collection 704307PR Set Screw 10-24 5/16in Cone Point Ss A2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 704307PR is a 10-24 UNC cone point set screw designed for secure, low-profile fastening applications where a protruding head is not acceptable. Manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this screw delivers solid corrosion resistance in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. It measures 5/16 inches in overall length and is driven with a 3/32-inch hex key. The cone point concentrates clamping force at a single contact location, making it well suited for locking collars, shafts, and mechanical assemblies in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and electrical enclosures.

This set screw is used across a wide range of trade applications wherever a flush or recessed fastener is required. Common installation scenarios include shaft-to-hub retention on blower wheels, motor pulleys, valve stems, and bracket assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor or high-humidity environments. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency expected by trade professionals working to specification.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Cone point geometry concentrates holding force for secure shaft and collar retention
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 3/32-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• 5/16-inch overall length suits shallow to moderate thread engagement depths
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC cone point set screw for use in any tapped hole conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the screw into a pre-tapped 10-24 UNC hole using a 3/32-inch hex key. Always de-energize equipment and relieve any system pressure before servicing mechanical assemblies that include set screws. Do not overtighten, as cone point screws can indent soft shaft materials; seat firmly to achieve positive engagement without deforming the mating surface. Refer to equipment manufacturer torque guidance when working on rotating assemblies.
