Value Collection BT-3816-750-AS Set Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-3816-750-AS is a 3/8-16 x 3/4 inch set screw with a soft tip point configuration, manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a brass tip insert. The hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. Grade 8 alloy steel provides high tensile strength suited for demanding fastening applications where a harder steel body must bear clamping load without damaging the mating surface. The brass tip protects shafts and soft components from marring during tightening. Licensed tradespeople and mechanical assembly technicians working in industrial, HVAC, and general mechanical applications commonly specify this fastener type.

This set screw is appropriate for use in shaft collars, shaft couplings, sprockets, pulleys, and similar mechanical components where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The soft brass tip is particularly suited for locking onto hardened or finished shafts where surface damage must be avoided. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread specification compatible with standard tapped holes in that size. The 3/4 inch thread engagement length suits moderate torque and axial load requirements in both residential mechanical equipment and light industrial assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel body for high clamping strength and durability
• Soft brass tip protects shaft surfaces from marring and galling
• Hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and drivers
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with tapped components
• 3/4 inch thread length provides solid axial holding in shaft assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 UNC soft-tip set screw with a 3/4 inch thread length and hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or tradespeople using a calibrated hex key or hex driver. De-energize and lock out any rotating or powered equipment before installing or removing set screws. Do not overtighten, as the brass tip can deform and the alloy steel threads can strip the mating tapped hole if torque is excessive. Verify thread engagement depth and hole cleanliness before driving the fastener to full seating.
