Value Collection BT-832-187-SS Set Screw 8-32 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-832-187-SS is a hex-drive set screw with a soft tip point, designed for applications where a secure hold is required without damaging the mating surface. Threaded 8-32 UNC/UNF and measuring 3/16 inches in thread length, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with a brass tip that cushions contact against shafts, rods, or other precision components. The combination of stainless steel construction and a brass soft tip makes it well suited for environments where corrosion resistance and surface protection are both priorities. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies will find this screw a dependable standard fastener.

This set screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, electrical panels, and plumbing fixture hardware where a non-marring fastener is needed. The brass tip engages a shaft or flat without scoring the contact surface, which is critical in precision positioning applications such as collars, pulleys, handles, and adjustment mechanisms. It is appropriate for both original installation and repair work across residential and light commercial equipment.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Brass soft tip point protects mating surfaces from scoring or deformation
• Hex drive socket for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 8-32 UNC/UNF thread standard ensures broad fastener compatibility
• 3/16 inch thread length suits compact mechanical assemblies with limited engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC/UNF hex-drive soft tip set screw suitable for general mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing assembly applications requiring a non-marring fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or electricians using a standard hex key or Allen driver sized to the socket. Ensure the mating shaft or surface is clean and free of debris before seating the screw. Do not overtighten, as the brass tip can deform under excessive torque, reducing its protective function. Minimum order quantity for this item is 10 pieces.
