Value Collection NT-1024-187-AS Set Screw 10-24 X 3/16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-1024-187-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a hex drive and a soft nylon tip point. It is designed for use in threaded assemblies where a secure hold is needed without damaging the mating surface. The screw measures 10-24 thread size at 3/16 inches in length, following UNC and UNF thread standards. The nylon tip provides a cushioned contact point that protects shafts and other mating components from marring during tightening. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener in motors, couplings, pulleys, and similar mechanical assemblies.

This set screw is suited for residential and commercial mechanical applications where shaft retention or component positioning is required. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general mechanical installations where a non-damaging locking point is preferred. The 10-24 UNC and UNF thread compatibility broadens its fit across a range of standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and cast components.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding applications
• Soft nylon tip point protects mating surfaces and shafts from damage during installation
• Hex drive accepts standard hex keys for reliable torque application in tight spaces
• 10-24 thread size with UNC and UNF thread standard compatibility
• 3/16-inch thread engagement length suits compact assemblies with limited depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fastener for mechanical assemblies using 10-24 threaded set screw holes with soft-tip or non-marring requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians using a properly sized hex key. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components that use set screws. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can shear the nylon tip or damage the mating shaft. Confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient for the application before final tightening.
