Value Collection NT-M8-16MM-AS M8 X 16mm Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-M8-16MM-AS is an M8 x 16mm set screw with a soft nylon tip point, manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a hex drive interface. Set screws of this type are used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, pulley, or sprocket — against a shaft without a protruding head. The nylon tip protects shaft surfaces from marring during clamping, making this fastener appropriate for finished or precision shafts where surface integrity matters. The hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation torque application. This screw is sold in multiples of five units per order.

This set screw is suited for mechanical assembly and maintenance applications across HVAC equipment, industrial machinery, plumbing pump assemblies, and general trade installations where a headless, thread-locking fastener is required. The M8 thread size and 16mm thread length make it a common choice for mid-range shaft collar and hub applications. It is appropriate for use by millwrights, HVAC mechanics, and maintenance technicians working on rotating equipment and mechanical drive components.

Key Features

• M8 thread size with 16mm full-thread length for secure shaft engagement
• Nylon soft tip protects shaft surfaces from scoring or deformation during installation
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load strength
• Hex drive interface accepts standard metric hex keys
• Headless set screw design sits flush or below the component surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring an M8 x 16mm headless set screw with a soft tip point and hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized metric hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the shaft and mating component bore are clean and free of debris before threading the screw into position. Always de-energize and lock out rotating equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components. Do not overtighten — follow the component or equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the fastener grade and thread size.
