For assemblies that call for a stainless set screw by exact size, 3-48 x 1/8 18-8 Stainless Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw identifies the required 18-8 material, cup point geometry, thread, and length.

In couplings, knobs, and handles, this screw is often selected where the screw must sit inside a tapped part. The socket drive helps maintenance and assembly teams install or remove the fastener without needing side clearance around a head.

Selection should account for the mating material, available drive access, environmental exposure, and whether localized point contact is acceptable. This 3-48 x 1/8 size gives buyers a precise callout for ordering. It fits many indoor industrial, outdoor general-service, instrumentation, and routine-cleaning applications. This point style is intended for applications where localized contact is part of the retaining method, not for assemblies that require a nonmarking tip. Cold Headers helps match set screw thread, length, point style, material, and socket drive details for industrial purchasing and repair work.
