Value Collection BT-632-250-SS Set Screw 6-32 X 0.25in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-632-250-SS is a 6-32 UNC threaded set screw measuring 1/4 inch in length, manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with a brass soft tip. Set screws of this type are fully threaded, headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a pulley, collar, or gear — against a shaft without protruding hardware. The brass tip protects the mating surface from scoring or galling during installation and adjustment. The hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key for tightening. This fastener is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and electricians working on rotating assemblies, valve stems, or control linkages.

This set screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 18-8 stainless steel performs well in humid or mildly corrosive environments, making it a practical choice for HVAC equipment rooms, plumbing assemblies, and pool mechanical areas. The soft brass tip makes it appropriate for use against hardened or finished shafts where surface protection is required. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in humid environments
• Brass soft tip protects mating shaft surfaces from scoring or galling
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures broad fitment with standard tapped holes
• Hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys
• Fully threaded, headless design for flush or below-surface installation
• 1/4 inch length suitable for thin-wall collars and light mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC soft-tip set screw for use in any tapped hole accepting a 6-32 thread pitch where a brass-tipped, headless fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized hex key — do not use an undersized key, as this risks rounding the socket. Disengage power or shut off fluid flow to any assembly before loosening or tightening set screws on rotating or pressurized components. Apply only hand torque appropriate for a 6-32 fastener; overtightening a small-diameter set screw can shear the screw or damage the tapped hole. Verify thread engagement is clean and free of debris before final tightening.
