Value Collection NT-3816-750-SS Set Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-3816-750-SS is a hex-drive set screw with a soft nylon tip point, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 3/4-inch thread length, this fastener is designed to lock or position a component against a shaft or surface without damaging it. The nylon tip absorbs the clamping load, protecting the mating surface from scoring or deformation. Trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contracting reach for this style of set screw when securing pulleys, collars, hubs, or adjustment assemblies where surface integrity matters and corrosion resistance is required.

This set screw is suited for light-industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies where a non-marring grip point is needed. Common applications include fan shaft collars, motor pulley retention, valve stem locks, and adjustable mounting hardware exposed to moisture or mild corrosive environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3/4-inch thread length provides adequate engagement depth for most collar and hub applications
• Nylon soft tip protects shaft and mating surface from scoring during tightening
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments
• Hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen wrenches for controlled torque application

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex-drive soft-tip set screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or threaded collar accepting 3/8-16 inch-series fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex key or Allen wrench sized to the internal hex drive. Verify the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the fastener. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the nylon tip, as overtightening will deform the tip and reduce its surface-protection properties. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when securing rotating components.
