Value Collection 705370PR Set Screw 1/4-20 X 3/4 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705370PR is a 1/4-20 UNC set screw with an oval point, manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. It measures 3/4 inches in overall length and is driven by a 1/8-inch hex key. The oval point profile provides a low-stress seating contact, making it well suited for locking collars, shaft positioning, and adjustment applications where marring of the mating surface must be minimized. Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards. Installation requires a standard 1/8-inch hex key. Weighs approximately 0.01 pounds per piece.

This set screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, shaft-to-hub connections, positioning fixtures, and similar applications requiring a headless fastener that sits flush or below a surface. The austenitic A2 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or food-adjacent environments. Typical users include mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, plumbers, and HVAC service professionals working with equipment that requires secure, non-projecting fasteners on rotating or sliding components.

Key Features

• Oval point tip reduces surface damage to mating shaft or component during tightening
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor service
• 1/4-20 UNC thread provides broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1/8-inch hex drive accepts a common Allen key for easy installation in confined spaces
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 for dimensional and mechanical compliance
• Headless design allows flush or sub-flush installation in blind or through-tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC headless set screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 1/4-20 UNC thread standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/8-inch hex key; ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for Grade A2 stainless steel fasteners, as over-torquing can gall the threads. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that incorporate set screws on rotating shafts or couplings. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and thread engagement requirements.
