1/2-13 x 1/2 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a headless socket set screw for compact shaft and component retention. The point focuses contact at the work surface, and the pellet creates prevailing torque after the screw is driven into the tapped hole. For final material selection, consider moisture, cleaning exposure, mating material, and whether 18-8 is suitable for the service conditions.
For food and beverage machinery adjustments, changeover stops, or equipment guards, check point contact, threaded engagement, and drive access before installation. For 316 stainless with a nylon insert, treat the requirement as a non-catalog request that Cold Headers can quote.
Need the pellet in a non-catalog size? Cold Headers can review supported in-house pelletizing requests. Review the thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and set-screw pellet location before matching the part to a service record or drawing.
