Value Collection 88547476 Cup Point Set Screw 8-32 Grade 8 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547476 is a Grade 8 steel cup point set screw sized 8-32 x 3/16 inches overall length, finished in black oxide. Cup point set screws are fully threaded fasteners with no head — they seat flush or below the workpiece surface and use internal drive engagement for installation. The 5/64-inch hex key drive allows precise torque application in tight or recessed locations. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. Grade 8 material rating indicates high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. These screws are sold in packages of 25 units.

Cup point set screws in the 8-32 UNC thread standard are widely used in mechanical and industrial assemblies where a component — such as a pulley, collar, gear, or knob — must be secured to a shaft or threaded bore. The cup point digs into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement. This size is common in light-duty mechanical drive systems, HVAC damper linkage hardware, motor shaft collars, and general equipment assembly. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians routinely install this fastener type across residential and commercial equipment applications.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Cup point geometry bites into mating shaft surface to resist movement
• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• 5/64-inch hex key drive allows installation in recessed or tight spaces
• Black oxide finish provides mild surface protection and low reflectivity
• Packaged in quantities of 25 to support bench stock and service inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC cup point set screw suitable for any tapped hole or mechanical assembly calling for this thread size, point type, and overall length.

Installation Notes

Install with a 5/64-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating bore or shaft is clean and free of debris before seating. De-energize and lock out any equipment before installing or adjusting set screws on rotating components. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the fastener — avoid using cheater bars or excessive force on the hex key.
