Value Collection NT-1032-250-AS Set Screw 10-32 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-1032-250-AS is a 10-32 x 1/4 inch set screw with a soft nylon tip point, manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. It is driven with a hex key and follows UNC/UNF thread standards. The nylon tip protects the mating surface from damage while still maintaining firm holding force, making it suitable for applications where marring or gouging the contact surface must be avoided. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals use this fastener in equipment assemblies, shaft collars, and clamping fixtures across HVAC, mechanical, and general industrial applications.

This set screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial equipment. Its compact 1/4 inch thread length makes it appropriate for shallow-threaded bosses and thin-walled components. The nylon tip absorbs vibration and reduces the risk of surface damage on softer shafts or finished components, a common requirement in motor shaft collars, adjustment mechanisms, and valve assemblies found in HVAC and plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof load strength
• Soft nylon tip protects mating surfaces from scoring or galling
• Hex drive for standard hex key installation
• 10-32 thread size with UNC/UNF dual standard compliance
• 1/4 inch thread length suits shallow-boss and thin-wall applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for equipment assemblies requiring a 10-32 soft tip set screw with hex drive and a 1/4 inch thread engagement length.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized hex key to avoid rounding the drive socket. Ensure the threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing shaft collars or mechanical assemblies. Do not over-torque, as the nylon tip can deform if excessive force is applied.
