Value Collection NT-832-375-AS Set Screw 8-32 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-832-375-AS is an 8-32 x 3/8-inch set screw designed for applications requiring a non-marring, soft-tip point. Constructed from Grade 8 alloy steel, it provides high tensile strength and resistance to shear stress in demanding fastening scenarios. The hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. The nylon tip contacts the mating surface without damaging threads or finish on the held component, making it well suited for securing shafts, collars, and precision assemblies where surface integrity matters. Installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors in light and heavy industrial settings.

This set screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies wherever a headless fastener is required to lock a component onto a shaft or within a bore. Typical applications include motor shafts, gear hubs, adjustment collars, and valve stems. The UNC and UNF thread standard compatibility broadens the range of threaded holes this fastener fits. It is a general-purpose fastener stocked and used by maintenance trades, industrial facilities, and OEM assembly lines. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Nylon soft tip protects mating surfaces and shaft finishes from marring during tightening
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and proof load strength
• Hex drive socket accepts standard hex keys for controlled torque application
• 8-32 UNC/UNF thread standard for broad compatibility with standard threaded bores
• 3/8-inch thread engagement length suits medium-depth collar and hub installations
• Headless design sits flush or below surface for clearance-critical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation set screw for any 8-32 threaded bore requiring a soft-tip, hex-drive fastener in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hex key sized to fit the internal hex socket of this set screw. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before threading. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components that use set screws to retain rotating parts. Do not overtighten; follow the equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
