5-40 x 3/4 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is intended for headless fastening where drive access is through the socket and point style determines the seating action. Oval point versions use a radiused tip that contacts at a tangent, which can suit curved seating surfaces, splines, grooves, and repeat positioning work.
Common application reviews include pumps, outdoor fixtures, and conveyor components. Use the cone and 1/2 dog options for more fixed seating arrangements, while flat and oval options are often reviewed where readjustment or reduced surface marking matters.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material referenced to ASTM F880, used for general atmosphere, moisture exposure, and clean appearance. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size sourcing for hard-to-find socket products.
