Value Collection 88547450 Set Screw 10-32 X 1/4 in Cup Point 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547450 is a Grade 8 steel set screw designed for secure, tool-free fastening in mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed hold is required. The cup point tip bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement without requiring a through-hole. Driven by a 3/32-inch hex key, this screw features a 10-32 UNF thread and measures 1/4 inch in overall length. A black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in visible assemblies. Each pack contains 25 pieces. Grade 8 construction delivers the tensile strength needed for demanding mechanical and industrial applications.

This set screw is used in shaft-to-hub connections, collars, pulleys, sprockets, and similar mechanical components where a headless fastener is needed to avoid clearance interference. Typical applications include HVAC blower wheel retention, motor shaft collars, and light mechanical assemblies. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-pitch standard commonly found in precision equipment and instrumentation as well as general trade applications.

Key Features

• Cup point tip grips mating surface to resist rotation and axial load
• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding applications
• 10-32 UNF fine-pitch thread for precision engagement
• 1/4-inch overall length suits shallow-boss and thin-wall installations
• 3/32-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and T-handle drivers
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• Pack of 25 for service stock and repetitive installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF x 1/4-inch cup point set screw for use in any application or component that accepts this thread size and length specification.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Power down and de-energize any rotating equipment before servicing shaft collars or blower wheels secured with set screws. Do not overtighten — seating the cup point firmly against the shaft surface is sufficient; excessive torque can strip the thread or deform the shaft. Follow equipment manufacturer torque guidance where specified in the service documentation.
