Value Collection 705477PR Set Screw 3/8-16 X 1 in Oval Point Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705477PR is a 3/8-16 x 1 inch oval point set screw manufactured from austenitic stainless steel to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. The oval point geometry provides a low-stress seating surface that resists marring on shaft surfaces, making it well suited for applications where the screw must bear against a finished or hardened component without damaging it. Driven with a 3/16 inch hex key, this fastener uses UNC thread form with an overall length of 1 inch. At 0.05 pounds per piece, it is a compact fastener intended for precision mechanical assemblies.

This set screw is used across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications including HVAC equipment, pump and motor assemblies, fan blade hubs, collars, pulleys, and gear set retention. The oval point design is especially common in applications where repeated adjustment is expected without permanent deformation of the mating shaft. It is appropriate for both light-duty residential equipment and heavier commercial mechanical assemblies where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Oval point tip reduces marring and stress concentration on mating shaft surfaces
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 3/16 inch internal hex drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and mechanical standards
• 1 inch overall length suits medium-depth engagement in collars, hubs, and mechanical components

Compatibility

Designed for use in any tapped 3/8-16 UNC threaded hole requiring an oval point set screw in austenitic stainless steel, including mechanical collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, and similar hardware found in HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/16 inch hex key or Allen driver. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fasteners on rotating or pressurized assemblies. Do not overtighten, as set screws in stainless steel are subject to galling if driven without anti-seize compound on the threads. Follow applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for 3/8-16 fasteners in the specific material being threaded into.
