Value Collection 93960 Set Screw 3/8-16 X 3/8 in Cup Point Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93960 is a cup point set screw designed for mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, non-projecting fastener. Threaded 3/8-16 UNC with an overall length of 3/8 inches, it is driven by a 3/16-inch hex key and seats firmly against a shaft or mating surface via its cup point tip. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel, the fastener resists corrosion in moderate chemical and moisture environments. This package contains 50 pieces, making it suitable for stocking or multi-unit jobs. The cup point geometry bites into the shaft surface to resist axial and rotational movement without requiring a separate locking element.

Cup point set screws of this size and thread are widely used in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, couplings, and motor hubs across light industrial, HVAC equipment, and mechanical drive applications. A licensed mechanic or millwright typically installs these in production or field-service settings where a flush, headless fastener is required in tight clearance areas. The stainless steel construction makes this screw appropriate for installations where mild corrosion resistance is a factor, such as outdoor mechanical enclosures or humid equipment rooms.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Cup point tip bites into shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• 3/16-inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys and L-wrenches
• Headless design allows flush or recessed installation in tight clearances
• Pack of 50 pieces supports stocking and multi-unit service jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC cup point set screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or threaded component requiring this thread size and a headless, hex-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Use a properly sized 3/16-inch hex key to torque the screw; an undersized or worn key can round the drive socket. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not reuse set screws that show signs of drive socket deformation or thread damage.
