Value Collection NT-832-250-SS Set Screw 8-32 1/4in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-832-250-SS is a hex-drive set screw designed for applications requiring secure, non-marring fastening. Threaded 8-32 UNC/UNF with a 1/4-inch thread length, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, offering solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and light outdoor environments. The soft nylon tip contacts the mating surface without scoring or gouging it, making this screw well-suited for locking shafts, collars, and components where the clamped surface finish must be preserved. Hex drive allows installation with a standard hex key or Allen wrench.

This set screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixtures where a small-diameter fastener is needed to secure a component to a shaft or housing without a through-hole. The nylon tip is appropriate where the locked surface is soft metal, plastic, or a finished shaft that cannot be marred. Trade mechanics, HVAC technicians, and facilities maintenance personnel commonly stock this size for field repairs and equipment assembly.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC/UNF thread for wide tooling compatibility
• 1/4-inch thread length suits compact collar and hub assemblies
• Nylon soft tip prevents marring or scoring of mating surfaces
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Hex drive accepts standard hex keys available in most field kits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC/UNF hex-drive set screw suitable for general mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing assembly applications requiring a soft-tip fastener in this thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key matched to the socket drive. De-energize or shut down any equipment before fastener installation or adjustment. Do not overtighten, as the nylon tip can deform under excessive torque and reduce holding force. Confirm thread engagement is sufficient for the load before returning equipment to service.
