Value Collection BT-1428-375-SS Set Screw 1/4-28 X 3/8 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1428-375-SS is a 1/4-28 x 3/8 inch soft tip set screw constructed from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a brass tip insert. The hex drive socket accepts standard hex keys for controlled torque application. The soft brass tip protects shaft surfaces and delicate workpiece materials from scoring during tightening, making this fastener appropriate for positioning, locking, and clamping applications where surface integrity matters. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers commonly install this type of fastener in motion control assemblies, shaft collars, and precision mechanical components.

This set screw is suited for use in light industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener with a non-marring tip is required. The 1/4-28 UNF thread specification provides fine-thread engagement for applications demanding precise adjustment or vibration resistance. Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this fastener appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Soft brass tip protects shaft and mating surface from scoring or marring during installation
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 1/4-28 UNF fine thread for precise clamping force adjustment and improved vibration resistance
• Hex drive socket compatible with standard hex keys and hex bit drivers
• 3/8 inch thread engagement length suitable for standard shaft collar and collar locking applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install set screw for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/4-28 UNF threaded, hex drive, soft tip fastener in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a hex key or hex bit driver sized to the drive socket. Confirm the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before thread engagement. Do not exceed the rated clamping capacity of the brass tip, as overtightening can deform the tip and reduce holding effectiveness. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific application.
