Value Collection 705462PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 3/8 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705462PR is a 3/8-16 x 3/8 inch oval point set screw manufactured from austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2. The oval point geometry provides a smooth, low-damage seating surface that reduces marring on soft shafts and threaded assemblies. Driven by a 3/16 inch hex key, this fastener is dimensioned to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and meets ASTM F880 standards. Weighing 0.05 pounds per unit, it suits applications where corrosion resistance and consistent clamping force are required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in trade and industrial environments are the typical installers.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft collars, mechanical assemblies, and positioning fixtures across light industrial, HVAC equipment, and general mechanical applications. The UNC 3/8-16 thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes found in common machinery and equipment components. The Grade A2 stainless steel construction makes it a reliable choice in moist or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust. Minimum order quantity is 10 units per order.

Key Features

• Oval point tip reduces marring and damage to shaft surfaces during installation
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 3/16 inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 3/8-16 x 3/8 inch oval point set screw for use in any tapped hole conforming to the ASME/ANSI B18.3 specification. No specific model or equipment compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/16 inch hex key torqued by hand to the assembler's specified value for the application. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten, as set screws in stainless steel are susceptible to galling — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is standard practice. Always follow applicable mechanical and safety codes for the equipment being serviced.
