Value Collection 704372PR Set Screw 1/4-20 X 5/8 in Cone Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 704372PR is a cone point set screw designed for secure, no-slip fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from austenitic grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener offers reliable corrosion resistance in environments where standard carbon steel hardware would be unsuitable. The 1/4-20 UNC thread and 5/8-inch overall length make it a common choice for shaft collars, pulleys, and similar rotating or stationary components. Drive is a 1/8-inch hex (Allen) socket. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these fasteners in light to medium industrial and commercial applications.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical systems requiring a positive cone point engagement to seat into a shaft indentation or bite into a soft shaft surface. Applications include motor shafts, gear hubs, shaft collars, and adjustable mechanical linkages across industrial, HVAC equipment, and commercial facility maintenance settings. The cone point geometry concentrates clamping force at a single contact area, reducing the risk of fastener backing out under vibration. Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards.

Key Features

• Cone point geometry for positive shaft engagement and vibration resistance
• Austenitic grade A2 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for wide compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1/8-inch hex drive socket for use with standard Allen keys or hex drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC cone point set screw for use in any component with a matching tapped hole, including shaft collars, hubs, and pulleys requiring a 5/8-inch length fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or qualified maintenance technicians. De-energize and lockout any equipment before servicing fasteners on rotating assemblies. Use a calibrated 1/8-inch hex key or T-handle driver and tighten to the torque specification listed by the component manufacturer. Do not overtighten, as cone point set screws can deform soft shaft surfaces if excessive force is applied.
