Value Collection NT-832-375-SS Set Screw 8-32 3/8in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-832-375-SS is a hex-drive set screw with a nylon soft tip point, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel. Sized at 8-32 UNC/UNF thread with a 3/8-inch thread length, this fastener is designed to secure components to a shaft or surface without marring the mating part. The nylon tip contacts the shaft directly, preventing surface damage while maintaining firm holding force. Installers across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades use soft-tip set screws wherever surface finish or material integrity must be preserved at the contact point.

This set screw suits residential and light commercial applications where a non-marring fastener is required. Typical use cases include securing pulleys, collars, knobs, or shaft-mounted components in HVAC blower assemblies, pump assemblies, and mechanical linkages. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for humid or wet environments. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Key Features

• Nylon soft tip point prevents marring or gouging of shaft surfaces
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Hex drive for standard hex key installation
• 8-32 UNC/UNF thread for wide fastener compatibility
• 3/8-inch thread length suits shallow-engagement applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC/UNF hex-drive soft-tip set screw for use in any application requiring a non-marring stainless steel fastener at this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are installed by mechanical technicians using a hex key or Allen wrench sized to the drive recess. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing shaft-mounted components. Do not overtighten, as the nylon tip can deform under excessive torque. Follow applicable mechanical or equipment manufacturer guidelines when specifying torque.
