Value Collection BT-1032-250-AS Set Screw 10-32 Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1032-250-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a soft brass tip point, sized at 10-32 x 0.25 inches. Set screws of this type are used to secure a component — such as a collar, pulley, or gear — to a shaft without requiring a protruding head. The hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. The brass soft tip protects the mating shaft surface from scoring or deformation during tightening, making it the preferred choice when shaft integrity must be maintained. Grade 8 alloy steel provides high tensile and torsional strength for demanding mechanical applications.

This set screw is suited for light machinery, HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, fan hubs, and general industrial or trade applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The 10-32 thread size (UNC/UNF compatible) is common in precision mechanical assemblies across residential and commercial equipment. Technicians and millwrights working on motors, blower assemblies, and drive components will find this screw appropriate for standard shaft-locking tasks. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Brass soft tip protects shaft surface from damage during tightening
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and torsional strength
• Hex drive socket accepts standard hex keys for precise torque application
• 10-32 thread size compatible with UNC and UNF thread standards
• Length measured as full thread length at 0.25 inches
• Minimum order quantity of 10 pieces for consistent job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 x 0.25-inch soft tip set screw suitable for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a hex-drive, headless fastener with shaft surface protection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors using a properly sized hex key or Allen driver. De-energize and lock out all equipment before accessing rotating components such as fan hubs, pulleys, or collars. Ensure the mating shaft is clean and free of debris before seating the screw. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for the 10-32 thread engagement to avoid stripping the socket or thread.
