Value Collection 705473PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705473PR is a 3/8-16 x 3/4 inch oval point set screw manufactured from austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2. It is driven with a 3/16 inch hex key and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Set screws of this type are used to secure a component — typically a hub, collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft without a protruding head. The oval point concentrates clamping force on a small radius, allowing light axial holding while minimizing shaft damage. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working on rotating equipment and mechanical assemblies.

This set screw is suited for general industrial and mechanical applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The Grade A2 austenitic stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments such as food processing equipment, HVAC fan assemblies, pump shafts, and similar rotating-component installations. Thread size 3/8-16 UNC is a common coarse-thread specification found across a wide range of standard mechanical equipment. The 3/4 inch overall length suits medium-depth engagement requirements in standard collars and hubs.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard threaded bores
• Oval point design minimizes shaft indentation while maintaining axial holding force
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid service environments
• 3/16 inch hex drive — standard hex key installation, no special tooling required
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and mechanical standards
• 3/4 inch overall length suits standard collar and hub engagement depths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC oval point set screw for use in any threaded bore conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications, including collars, hubs, gears, and pulleys requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/16 inch hex key; confirm the bore thread is clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten — set screw torque should follow the equipment manufacturer's specifications for the bore material and shaft diameter. Minimum order quantity for this fastener is 5 pieces.
