Value Collection BT-1213-1-AS Set Screw 1/2-13 X 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1213-1-AS is a 1/2-13 x 1 inch soft tip set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a brass tip insert. The hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation and adjustment. The soft brass tip protects the mating surface from scoring or marring during tightening, making this fastener well suited for applications where the clamped shaft or surface finish must be preserved. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople use this type of set screw in shaft collars, couplings, pulleys, and similar power-transmission components.

This set screw is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a UNC or UNF 1/2-13 threaded bore is required. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding load and vibration conditions. The brass soft tip is particularly useful when locking onto hardened shafts, plated surfaces, or softer materials where a hardened cup-point set screw would cause damage. Typical install scenarios include securing rotating components on motor shafts and locking adjustment mechanisms in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding assemblies
• Soft brass tip prevents marring or scoring of mating shaft surfaces
• Hex drive accepts standard hex key for precise torque application
• 1/2-13 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with inch-series tapped bores
• 1 inch thread engagement length suits medium-duty clamping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock set screw for any assembly with a 1/2-13 UNC or UNF tapped bore requiring a soft tip point fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before removing or installing set screws. Use a properly sized hex key to avoid rounding the drive recess. Do not exceed the torque rating of the brass soft tip, as overtightening can deform or dislodge the tip insert.
