8-32 x 7/8 Cup Point Slotted Headless Set Screw is a slotted headless set screw for field adjustments where a flat-blade screwdriver is easier to source than a matched hex key. The slot can be driven with common flat-blade tools, avoiding the need to identify and carry a separate key size. The hollow-rim point can bite into the mating surface, so selection should consider whether a witness mark is acceptable.
Use this configuration for electrical panel hardware, equipment covers, control handles, and field service replacement work when the job calls for a headless screw and flat-blade drive access. A straight slot transmits less seating torque than a hex socket; when maximum tightening torque governs, compare alloy steel socket cup point set screws. For stainless material requirements, review Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Socket Set Screws.
For odd lengths or older slotted hardware callouts, Cold Headers can help identify the closest catalog path. The dimensional reference is ASME B18.6.2, cited here only as the slotted headless set screw dimensional standard.
