8-32 x 3/8 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert supports set-screw installations where no external head should project from the assembly. The cup point may leave a witness mark depending on shaft material and installation conditions, while the insert works in the threaded engagement. Use 18-8 stainless where the drawing calls for stainless material in indoor machinery, washdown-adjacent equipment, or humid service.
In instrumentation knobs, stainless stops, and control components, the internal hex drive allows adjustment from the end of the tapped hole. If shaft protection matters more than cup-point bite, Nylon and Brass Tip 18-8 Socket Set Screws solve a different problem than nylon inserts.
Nylon inserts are installed in-house at the Cold Headers Chicago facility for supported set-screw 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.
