10-24 x 3/16 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert places the cup rim at the workpiece and the nylon insert at the mating thread. 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.
Typical uses include stainless handle hubs, knob shafts, and operator controls, where the set screw must hold position without an external head. A nylon tip protects the shaft surface from marring, while a nylon insert locks the screw in its thread; those are different features. For chloride-heavy exposure, 316 stainless with nylon insert should be reviewed as a non-catalog request rather than assumed from this 18-8 listing.
Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped industrial buyers locate specialty socket products and replacement configurations. 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.
