For assemblies that call for a 316 stainless set screw by exact size, 5/16-24 x 1/4 316 Stainless Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw identifies the required 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 mating material, drive access, chloride or chemical exposure, temperature, and whether localized point contact is acceptable. This 5/16-24 x 1/4 size gives buyers a precise callout for ordering. It can fit washdown equipment, outdoor machinery, instrumentation, water-treatment hardware, and process equipment when 316 is specified. Buyers should review the shaft or component surface condition, available drive access, environmental exposure, and required holding action before selecting this item. Cold Headers is a useful source when the part number, thread, point style, 316 material, or length is difficult to locate through standard catalog channels.
