Value Collection 704423PR Set Screw 5/16-18 X 5/16 in Cone Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 704423PR is a cone point set screw designed for secure shaft-to-hub locking and axial positioning in mechanical assemblies. Threaded 5/16-18 UNC with an overall length of 5/16 inches, this fastener is driven by a 5/32 inch hex key and seats with a cone point for positive, high-force bite into the mating surface. Manufactured from austenitic stainless steel Grade A2, it offers reliable corrosion resistance in environments where carbon steel hardware would degrade. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Maintenance technicians and mechanical tradespeople install these in motors, pulleys, couplings, and similar rotating equipment.

This set screw is suited for general industrial and mechanical maintenance applications where a UNC-threaded, headless fastener with a cone point is required. Typical installations include motor shaft collars, gear hubs, and coupling assemblies in both commercial and light industrial settings. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for food service, washdown, or outdoor environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Cone point tip provides concentrated clamping force and positive engagement into shaft material
• 5/16-18 UNC thread with 5/16 inch overall length for compact, flush installation
• Grade A2 austenitic stainless steel resists corrosion in wet and corrosive environments
• Driven by 5/32 inch hex key for recessed, tool-accessible installation
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards for dimensional and mechanical conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC-threaded cone point set screw for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 5/16-18 threaded headless fastener with a cone point drive configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32 inch hex key. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before servicing components that use set screws. Do not overtighten, as cone point fasteners can deform soft shaft materials. Follow applicable facility maintenance procedures and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines where provided.
