Set screws in this configuration are used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — onto a shaft without a protruding head. The hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key (Allen wrench), and the nylon tip protects the mating surface from marring or scoring during tightening. This combination of corrosion-resistant stainless steel body and soft tip point suits installations where shaft surface integrity and resistance to moisture or mild chemicals are both priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set screw is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and HVAC-adjacent applications where a non-damaging tip is required against a hardened or finished shaft. Typical installation scenarios include motor shaft collars, fan hubs, valve stems, and equipment assemblies in commercial or residential mechanical rooms. The UNC\/UNF-compatible 5\/16-18 thread standard provides broad fitment across common threaded components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in damp or mild chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft nylon tip point prevents marring or scoring on shaft or seating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex socket drive for use with standard hex keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread size for compatibility with common threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch thread length for shallow-engagement applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 5\/16-18 UNC hex-drive soft-tip set screw for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a non-marring fastener in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a millwright, HVAC mechanic, or general maintenance technician using a properly sized hex key. De-energize and lock out any equipment before removing or installing set screws on rotating components. Do not overtighten — the nylon tip can deform or extrude if excessive torque is applied. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC \/ UNF\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: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\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-51618-375-SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690839671090,"sku":"NT-51618-375-SS","price":1450.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ed5fd47f3e43c33bb83a5cb571f5b3e2.jpg?v=1788276056","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-nt-51618-375-ss-set-screw-5-16-18x3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
