It features a 3\/8-16 UNC\/UNF thread and a 1\/2-inch thread length. The nylon tip protects the mating surface from damage during clamping, making this fastener well suited for securing collars, pulleys, gears, and similar components onto shafts. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical assembly applications where a hard metal point would mar a finished shaft or soft substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set screw is used in light to heavy mechanical assemblies where positive locking without surface damage is required. The Grade 8 alloy steel body delivers high tensile and torsional strength, while the replaceable-style nylon tip absorbs compressive load without scoring. Typical install scenarios include shaft-to-hub retention on fan assemblies, motor pulleys, and conveyor components. A minimum order quantity of 10 pieces applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 8 alloy steel body for high clamping strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft nylon tip protects shaft and mating surfaces from scoring or marring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 thread compatible with UNC and UNF standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive socket for standard hex key installation and precise torque control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch thread length measured along full thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-fitment set screw for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded soft-tip fastener in Grade 8 alloy steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a properly sized hex key or hex socket driver rated for the fastener grade. Ensure the threaded bore is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in by hand to confirm engagement. Power down and de-energize any rotating equipment before service. Do not substitute a metal-tip set screw when a soft tip is specified, as shaft damage and component misalignment may result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC \/ UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (full thread length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft Tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NT-3816-500-AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700082049330,"sku":"NT-3816-500-AS","price":1358.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/96e9bad1e6fbb8f1d5e084476f6a87db_71961084-b71a-4518-a0b9-057e6341b45a.jpg?v=1788385803","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-nt-3816-500-as-set-screw-3-8-16-x-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
