Value Collection NT-1024-500-AS Set Screw 10-24 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-1024-500-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw designed for secure, damage-free clamping in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-24 UNC thread and a 1/2-inch threaded length. The hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. A nylon soft tip protects the mating surface from marring while still transmitting sufficient holding force. Licensed HVAC technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and general trade professionals reach for this style of fastener when a flush or recessed clamp point is required without surface damage.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft-collar assemblies, motor shaft retention, setscrews in valve stems, and similar mechanical clamping applications across residential and light commercial trade work. The soft nylon tip makes it appropriate wherever the clamped surface must remain unmarred, such as polished shafts, plastic components, or thin-walled tubing. The 10-24 thread size is widely used in HVAC controls, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture hardware.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and shear resistance
• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1/2-inch thread length measured as full length of thread
• Hex drive socket accepts standard hex key — no external wrench required
• Nylon soft tip protects mating surfaces from marring or galling
• Thread standard: UNC and UNF compatible

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 10-24 threaded set screw with a soft tip and hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a properly sized hex key or Allen wrench matched to the socket drive. Always verify the tapped hole thread size and depth before driving the screw to prevent cross-threading. De-energize or lock out any equipment before accessing rotating shaft assemblies or live mechanical components. Do not exceed the manufacturer-rated clamp load for the nylon tip, as excessive torque will deform or shear the tip material.
