Value Collection BT-1032-187-AS Set Screw 10-32 Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1032-187-AS is a cup-point set screw with a soft brass tip, designed for secure, non-marring clamping in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 thread size, a 3/16-inch thread length, and is manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel for high tensile strength and hardness. The brass tip makes contact with the mating shaft or surface, protecting the workpiece finish while still holding position under load. This type of fastener is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical tradespeople working on equipment, fixtures, pulleys, collars, and similar assemblies.

This set screw is suited for residential and commercial mechanical equipment maintenance, machine assembly, and general industrial applications where a non-damaging tip is required. The soft brass tip is standard in applications where shaft surfaces must be preserved, such as on precision shafts, finished surfaces, or thin-walled tubing. The hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation in recessed or blind holes.

Key Features

• Soft brass tip prevents marring and gouging on mating shaft or surface
• Grade 8 alloy steel body for high tensile and proof load strength
• 10-32 thread size conforms to UNC and UNF thread standards
• Hex drive for use with standard hex keys in tight or recessed locations
• Full-thread body across the 3/16-inch length for maximum engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-fitment replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 10-32 set screw with a soft tip point in Grade 8 alloy steel.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a properly sized hex key. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as the brass tip can deform under excessive torque, reducing holding effectiveness. Follow equipment manufacturer specifications and applicable mechanical codes for fastener torque requirements.
