Value Collection NT-3816-1-AS Set Screw 3/8-16 X 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-3816-1-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a hex drive and a nylon soft tip point. Sized at 3/8-16 x 1 inch, it follows UNC and UNF thread standards. The nylon tip protects shaft surfaces from damage and marring during installation, making it a preferred choice when clamping onto finished or precision-ground shafts. Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides the high tensile strength needed for demanding mechanical and industrial fastening applications. A licensed mechanic, machinist, or maintenance technician will typically install this fastener during shaft collar, pulley, or coupling assembly work.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical power transmission assemblies, machine tool fixtures, and industrial equipment where a non-marring clamp point is required. The soft nylon tip distributes clamping load to avoid gouging or scoring shaft surfaces. It is appropriate for residential and commercial equipment maintenance, as well as light and heavy industrial assembly environments. The hex drive requires a standard hex key for installation and removal.

Key Features

• Nylon soft tip protects shaft and mating surfaces from scoring or marring
• Grade 8 alloy steel body delivers high tensile and proof load strength
• 3/8-16 thread size with UNC and UNF thread standard compatibility
• Hex drive for secure torque application with a standard hex key
• 1 inch threaded length for deep engagement in thick hubs or collars

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for shaft collars, pulleys, couplings, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 x 1 inch soft tip set screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist, millwright, or maintenance technician using a properly sized hex key. Ensure the shaft and collar bore are clean and free of burrs before installing the set screw. De-energize and lock out all equipment per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before beginning work. Do not exceed the rated clamping capacity of the collar or hub being fastened.
