Value Collection 706187PR Set Screw 6-32 X 1/4 in Half Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 706187PR is a 6-32 x 1/4 inch half dog point set screw manufactured from austenitic grade A2 stainless steel. It is driven by a 1/16 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. The half dog point design provides a short cylindrical tip that locates into a mating hole or groove, securing components against rotation or axial movement without marring the shaft surface. This type of fastener is commonly installed by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians during assembly or repair of mechanical components where corrosion resistance and precise holding are required.

This set screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Typical applications include securing collars, hubs, pulleys, and similar components onto shafts in residential and light commercial equipment. The UNC thread form and fractional inch sizing make it compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact.

Key Features

• Half dog point tip locates into a mating hole or groove to prevent shaft rotation and axial movement
• Austenitic grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards
• 6-32 UNC thread form fits standard inch-series tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 6-32 UNC tapped holes requiring a half dog point set screw in fractional inch sizing per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanics or maintenance technicians using a 1/16 inch hex key. Ensure the mating component is de-energized and at rest before tightening. The half dog point requires a corresponding locating hole or groove in the shaft for proper engagement. Do not overtighten, as A2 stainless steel has lower hardness than alloy steel and the small drive size limits applied torque.
