It features a hex drive socket and a soft tip point with a brass insert, which protects mating shaft surfaces from damage during and after installation. This fastener is used in mechanical assemblies where a hardened screw must hold a component in position on a shaft without marring the shaft surface. The Grade 8 alloy steel body provides high clamp load and resistance to loosening under vibration, while the softer brass tip prevents galling on the shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set screw is suited for industrial, HVAC, and general mechanical maintenance applications where shaft-mounted components such as collars, pulleys, couplings, sheaves, and hubs require secure positioning. The soft brass tip makes it appropriate for use on finished or hardened shafts where a hardened cup point would cause unacceptable surface damage. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades commonly use this style of fastener when servicing blower wheel assemblies, motor shaft components, and similar rotating equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 8 alloy steel body delivers high tensile strength and vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft brass tip protects shaft surfaces from galling and indentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive socket accepts standard hex keys for precise torque application in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread is a widely stocked, industry-standard size for mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-thread construction with length measured as threaded length at 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8-16 UNC soft tip set screw suitable for use in any mechanical assembly requiring that thread size and a non-marring point style.

Always de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing shaft-mounted components. Do not substitute a standard cup point set screw for this soft tip version in applications where shaft surface protection is required. Confirm thread engagement depth is adequate before applying final torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC \/ UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (threaded length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft Tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BT-3816-625-AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699127091506,"sku":"BT-3816-625-AS","price":1747.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e5aab0b4ce9f8446b2544f7042e2e816.jpg?v=1788372515","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bt-3816-625-as-set-screw-3-8-16-x-5-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
