5/16-24 x 1/2 Nylon Tip 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw combines a socket-driven stainless body with a nylon tip for adjustment points that may be reset. Nylon is specified when the application needs a softer sacrificial tip instead of direct stainless contact.

Laboratory fixtures and device assemblies use this format for repeated fine adjustment. Internal socket access keeps the screw headless for compact adjustment points.

For maintenance, production, and distributor sourcing, Cold Headers can help verify size and tip data. Check the 5/16-24 x 1/2 thread, threaded length, tip length, tip diameter, mating material, and drive access against the drawing. The specified 3A thread fit supports close thread engagement without adding unlisted tolerance claims. When thread friction is needed instead of soft contact, 18-8 Set Screws with Nylon Insert solve a different task. This fine-thread row fits the hard-to-find tip-screw range where exact size, tip material, and published A/C dimensions matter.
