Value Collection 706249PR Set Screw 8-32 X 3/8 in Half Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 706249PR is a half dog point set screw designed for precision mechanical assemblies where a partial-length dog point is required to locate or retain a mating component without full penetration. Manufactured from austenitic stainless steel Grade A2, this fastener offers good corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and light commercial environments. The 8-32 UNC thread and 3/8-inch overall length make it a common size for machine components, shaft collars, and similar hardware. Drive is a 5/64-inch hex socket, driven with a standard hex key. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards.

This set screw is used wherever a half dog point is specified to provide a positive locating feature or limit axial movement in a bore or groove. Typical applications include shaft collars, couplings, gear hubs, and precision machine assemblies in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and equipment fabrication settings. The A2 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive or washdown-adjacent environments where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Half dog point geometry provides a reduced-diameter pilot for positive locating in drilled holes or grooves
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel offers corrosion resistance superior to standard carbon steel set screws
• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in machine components
• 5/64-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and hex-bit drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards for dimensional accuracy and material compliance
• 3/8-inch overall length suits compact shaft collar and hub applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock set screw for any mechanical assembly specifying an 8-32 UNC half dog point set screw with a 5/64-inch hex drive and 3/8-inch overall length per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical maintenance technicians or machinists using a 5/64-inch hex key or hex-bit driver. De-energize and lock out any equipment before installing or adjusting set screws in rotating components. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Do not exceed the torque rating for the thread size as specified by applicable fastener standards.
