Value Collection BT-1032-500-AS Set Screw 10-32 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1032-500-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a soft brass tip, designed for applications where a secure hold is required without damaging the mating surface. The 10-32 UNF/UNC thread and 1/2-inch thread length make it suitable for standard threaded assemblies in mechanical, HVAC, and industrial settings. Drive engagement is via hex socket. The brass tip compresses against the shaft or surface to lock position while preventing scoring or gouging. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working with shaft collars, pulleys, and rotating components.

This set screw is used in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies where a soft-tip point is preferred to protect finished shafts or delicate surfaces. Typical applications include securing pulleys, gears, collars, and knobs on shafts in HVAC blower assemblies, pump drives, and general mechanical equipment. The 10-32 thread size fits standard tapped holes in both residential and commercial equipment assemblies. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in threaded fastener applications
• Soft brass tip protects shaft surfaces from scoring during tightening
• Hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 10-32 thread size compatible with UNF and UNC tapped holes
• 1/2-inch thread length measured as full length of thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 x 1/2-inch soft-tip set screw for use in any assembly requiring a Grade 8 alloy steel fastener with a brass tip point in a hex-drive, 10-32 threaded hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified mechanic or technician using the appropriate hex key or Allen wrench for the socket size. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before installing or adjusting set screws. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can shear the brass tip or strip the thread. Confirm thread engagement and tip contact with the shaft before returning equipment to service.
