Value Collection 706373PR Set Screw 1/4-20 X 5/8 in Half Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 706373PR is a 1/4-20 x 5/8-inch half dog point set screw manufactured from austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. It is driven by a 1/8-inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. The half dog point extends beyond the threads to locate or align mating components, making it well suited for positioning collars, hubs, and shafts without marring the workpiece. Stainless construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. This fastener is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Half dog point set screws in 1/4-20 UNC thread are a common fastener in mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, motor shaft collars, and general industrial hardware. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors reach for this style when precise radial or axial positioning of a component on a shaft is required. The stainless Grade A2 material makes it a practical choice for installations where carbon steel fasteners would corrode over time.

Key Features

• Half dog point design for shaft alignment and component positioning without damaging mating surfaces
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for broad hardware compatibility
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 1/8-inch hex drive for installation with a standard Allen key
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 fastener standards
• Overall length measurement type — 5/8 inches total length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC half dog point set screw suitable for mechanical assemblies requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 compliant fastener with a 1/8-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/8-inch hex key (Allen wrench). De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing the assembly where the set screw will be installed. Do not over-torque — stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling; consider an anti-seize compound on the threads to prevent seizing. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for 1/4-20 set screws in the specific application.
