Value Collection 705245PR Set Screw 8-32 X 3/16 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705245PR is a socket set screw with an oval point, designed for use in locking, positioning, and securing applications where the point must seat into a mating part without marring a shaft. Manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. It is driven with a 5/64 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards. The 8-32 UNC thread and 3/16 inch overall length make it a compact, precise fastener suited to instrumentation, assemblies, and light mechanical work.

This set screw is commonly used in industrial, mechanical, and trade maintenance applications requiring a flush or semi-flush fastener that holds components on shafts or in bores. The oval point provides a concentrated contact surface that allows repositioning without permanently deforming the mating surface. It is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment assemblies, plumbing fixture hardware, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical subassemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Oval point design allows repositioning on mating shaft without heavy surface damage
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 5/64 inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and hex-key bit sets
• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards for dimensional and material compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC socket set screw for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3 compliant oval-point set screw with a 5/64 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 5/64 inch hex key or T-handle driver; do not use an oversized key as it may strip the socket. De-energize, depressurize, or lock out the assembly before inserting or adjusting set screws in any live system. Torque to the specification called out in the engineering drawing for the assembly; do not assume a default torque from thread size alone. Inspect the mating bore or shaft surface for debris before seating the oval point.
