Value Collection BT-1024-375-SS Set Screw 10-24 3/8in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1024-375-SS is a 10-24 UNC stainless steel set screw with a soft tip point design, suited for securing components without damaging shaft surfaces. The screw is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel and features a brass tip that contacts the mating surface, preventing marring or gouging on finished or hardened workpieces. It is driven with a hex key and has a full-thread length of 3/8 inches. This fastener is commonly installed by mechanical technicians, millwrights, and maintenance professionals in light industrial, HVAC equipment assembly, and general mechanical applications where a non-damaging holding point is required.

This set screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where shaft-mounted components such as pulleys, collars, knobs, or gears must be secured in position. The brass soft tip compresses slightly under torque, distributing clamping load without leaving permanent marks on the mating shaft. It is well suited for applications where components must be repositioned periodically or where shaft surface integrity is a priority. No specific model compatibility data was provided by the supplier for this item.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid or wet service environments
• Brass soft tip protects shaft surfaces from damage during installation and adjustment
• 10-24 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Full-thread engagement along the entire 3/8-inch length for maximum holding strength
• Hex drive socket head for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC soft-tip set screw suitable for tapped holes requiring a non-marring fastener solution in general mechanical and light industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel using a calibrated hex key of the correct size for the drive socket. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Do not over-torque, as the brass tip is a softer material and can deform if excessive force is applied. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes when installing fasteners in load-bearing or safety-critical assemblies.
