Value Collection BT-1420-1-AS Set Screw 1/4-20 X 1 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1420-1-AS is a 1/4-20 x 1 inch set screw designed for clamping and positioning applications where a non-marring tip is required. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a soft brass tip, this fastener prevents damage to shafts and mating surfaces during tightening. The hex drive socket allows for precise torque application with a standard hex key. Thread length runs the full 1 inch of the fastener, following UNC and UNF thread standards. This type of set screw is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics in mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, and positioning fixtures.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical power transmission equipment, motor shaft assemblies, shaft collars, couplings, and similar industrial hardware applications. The soft brass tip makes it the appropriate choice when shaft surfaces must be preserved and standard cup or cone point set screws would cause unacceptable surface damage. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Soft brass tip protects shaft and mating surface from scoring or gouging
• Hex socket drive for precise engagement with standard hex keys
• Full-thread length of 1 inch for maximum thread engagement
• UNC and UNF thread standard compatibility at 1/4-20 thread size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance-stock set screw for industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/4-20 x 1 inch soft tip fastener with hex drive.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are installed by qualified millwrights or maintenance technicians using a calibrated hex key or T-handle driver. Ensure the mating shaft and collar bore are clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any connected equipment before servicing shaft assemblies per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not substitute a standard cup or cone point set screw where a soft tip point is specified, as shaft damage may result.
