Value Collection NT-1024-375-AS Set Screw 10-24 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-1024-375-AS is a 10-24 UNC alloy steel set screw with a soft nylon tip point, supplied in Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws of this type are used to secure rotating components such as pulleys, gears, collars, and sprockets to shafts without a protruding fastener head. The hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation. The nylon tip protects the mating shaft surface from marring while still providing firm holding force. Grade 8 alloy steel delivers high tensile strength appropriate for demanding mechanical assemblies. This fastener is installed by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals across light industrial and commercial service work.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical drive systems, motor shaft collars, fan blade hubs, and similar assemblies where a flush, headless fastener is required. The 3/8-inch thread length covers typical shaft-collar setscrew engagement depths found in residential and light commercial equipment. The soft nylon tip makes it appropriate for applications where shaft surface finish must be preserved. No through-hole or counterbore is needed on the shaft side, simplifying installation in tight clearance applications.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Nylon soft tip protects shaft surfaces from scoring or deformation
• Hex drive type accepts standard hex keys for easy torque application in confined spaces
• 10-24 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with inch-series tapped holes
• Headless design sits flush with or below the surface of the clamping component
• 3/8-inch threaded length suits standard shaft-collar engagement depths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement set screw for mechanical assemblies using 10-24 UNC tapped holes requiring a soft-tip, headless fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics or technicians using a correctly sized hex key. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any rotating component secured by a set screw. Thread the fastener by hand first to confirm engagement before applying torque, and inspect the tapped hole for contamination or damage prior to installation. Do not substitute a standard cup-point set screw in applications where the nylon tip was specified to protect the shaft finish.
