Value Collection 705470PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 5/8 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705470PR is a 3/8-16 UNC set screw with an oval point, manufactured from austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2. This fastener measures 5/8 inches in overall length and is driven by a 3/16-inch hex key. It is designed to secure components against a shaft or mating surface without a protruding head, making it suitable for applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The oval point style provides a reduced contact area that is less likely to damage the mating surface compared to a cup or cone point. Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment applications.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as in wet environments, chemical-adjacent systems, or outdoor installations. The austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, making it appropriate for use in precision-assembled components including collars, pulleys, gears, and similar rotating or fixed hardware. Sold in multiples of five per minimum order requirement.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch-series mechanical assemblies
• Oval point geometry reduces surface damage to shaft or mating material during installation
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 3/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex key or Allen wrench tooling
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and mechanical standards
• Headless design allows flush or below-surface installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement set screw for standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded applications requiring a headless oval point fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or mechanical tradespeople using a 3/16-inch hex key. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for Grade A2 stainless steel at this thread size, and avoid using impact tools that may gall stainless threads. Anti-seize compound is commonly applied to stainless fasteners to prevent thread galling during installation and future removal.
