Value Collection NT-1024-250-AS Set Screw 10-24 Soft Tip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-1024-250-AS is a hex-drive set screw engineered for secure, no-mar fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this fastener delivers high tensile and torsional strength suitable for demanding industrial and trade environments. It features a soft nylon tip point that grips shaft surfaces without scoring or gouging, making it the preferred choice when protecting precision surfaces matters. The thread specification is 10-24 UNC with a full thread length of 0.25 inches. HVAC technicians, millwrights, electricians, and mechanical contractors regularly use set screws of this type when securing pulleys, collars, knobs, and similar components to shafts.

This set screw is appropriate for use across residential and commercial mechanical systems wherever a 10-24 UNC threaded hole is present. Typical install scenarios include securing blower wheel hubs, fan collars, shaft couplings, and drive pulleys in HVAC equipment. The nylon soft tip point is especially well suited to applications on shafts made of aluminum, brass, or other materials where a hardened cup or cone point would cause surface damage. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, this fastener is stocked by service shops that regularly turn over small hardware during equipment repair and installation.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Hex drive accepts standard hex keys for precise tightening torque
• Soft nylon tip point protects shaft surfaces from scoring or indentation
• 10-24 UNC thread standard for broad mechanical assembly compatibility
• Full thread length of 0.25 inches provides maximum thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock fastener for any mechanical assembly using a 10-24 UNC threaded set screw location requiring a soft-tip point style.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors using a standard hex key or hex bit driver sized for the drive socket. Power down and de-energize all equipment before accessing rotating assemblies or shaft components. Do not over-tighten the nylon tip against hardened steel shafts, as the tip material will compress and may require replacement after repeated adjustments. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener seating procedures.
