Value Collection 705379PR Set Screw 1/4-20 X 1 in Oval Point Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705379PR is a 1/4-20 x 1 inch oval point set screw manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. It is driven with a 1/8 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. The oval point geometry provides positive centering and low surface damage on the mating shaft, making it well suited for applications where part repositioning may be required. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working on assemblies where corrosion resistance and reliable holding force are required.

This set screw is appropriate for use in light industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Typical applications include securing collars, hubs, pulleys, and similar components to shafts in HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general mechanical systems. The UNC thread form and fractional inch sizing make it compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes found throughout North American equipment.

Key Features

• Oval point tip centers on shaft surface and minimizes indentation for repositionable installations
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• 1/8 inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and hex-tip drivers
• 1/4-20 UNC thread is a widely stocked, standard inch-series size
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in any 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole requiring an oval point set screw in stainless steel. Suitable as a direct replacement for Austenitic Grade A2 set screws of the same thread size and overall length in HVAC, pump, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/8 inch hex key or T-handle driver. Verify the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. Apply torque gradually and evenly to avoid galling, which is a known risk with stainless steel fasteners. Follow equipment manufacturer specifications for final seating torque.
