Value Collection 705472PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 1/2 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705472PR is a 3/8-16 x 1/2 inch oval point set screw manufactured from austenitic grade A2 stainless steel. It features a 3/16 inch hex drive and is designed for use in applications where a secure, non-projecting fastening point is required. The oval point tip seats into a mating surface to resist rotation without marring softer shaft materials. Manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards, this set screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, and positioning hardware across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

This set screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a UNC threaded fastener in stainless steel is specified. The austenitic A2 grade provides good corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice in environments with moisture exposure or where dissimilar metal concerns limit the use of carbon steel fasteners. A standard 3/16 inch hex key is used for installation, which is common tooling in mechanical service work. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Oval point tip provides a low-stress seating contact without gouging shaft surfaces
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard threaded hardware
• 3/16 inch hex drive accepts standard allen keys and hex drivers
• Manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• Overall length measurement of 1/2 inch for compact fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC set screw replacement or new installation fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 3/8-16 threaded, oval point set screw in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/16 inch hex key or T-handle driver. De-energize and lock out any mechanical equipment before servicing fasteners on rotating or pressurized assemblies. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur without proper anti-seize compound. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the host assembly design.
