Value Collection 706309PR Set Screw 10-24 X 3/8 in Half Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 706309PR is a 10-24 x 3/8 inch half dog point set screw manufactured from austenitic grade A2 stainless steel. It uses a 3/32 inch hex (Allen) drive and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. The half dog point provides a short cylindrical tip that seats into a mating hole or groove, preventing axial and rotational movement without fully penetrating through the workpiece. This type of fastener is a standard choice in mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, pulleys, and couplings where a secure, corrosion-resistant hold is required. Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.

This set screw is suited for light-duty and medium-duty mechanical assemblies in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The UNC thread form and fractional-inch sizing make it compatible with standard inch-series threaded bores. The austenitic A2 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, humid, and mildly chemical environments, making it appropriate for HVAC equipment components, pump assemblies, valve actuators, and general mechanical hardware applications where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Half dog point tip seats into a drilled hole or groove for positive axial retention without marring shaft surfaces excessively
• Austenitic grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid service environments
• 3/32 inch hex drive accepts standard Allen (hex) keys and driver bits
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and mechanical standards
• UNC thread form, 10-24 thread size, compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard 10-24 UNC tapped bore requiring a half dog point set screw in inch-series mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen driver; ensure the mating bore is tapped to 10-24 UNC and free of debris before threading. Power down or de-energize any equipment before adjusting or replacing set screws in rotating assemblies. Apply a thread-locking compound or anti-seize agent as appropriate for the service environment. Tighten to the assembly specification; do not over-drive, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven too aggressively without lubrication.
