3/8-24 x 2 3/4 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is a flat-ended socket set screw for mechanical hardware that relies on even bearing contact.
For 3/8-24 x 2 3/4, review the flat point around compact equipment where an external screw head would interfere and machine stops, collars, and adjustment screws. The broad end face suits prepared flats, repeated adjustment, and jobs where unnecessary deformation of the mating component would create service problems.
The 3/8-24 designation supplies the ordering thread form, and the 2 3/4 in. length should be checked against tapped depth and bearing location. Confirm that the mating feature is flat enough for the end face to seat evenly before changing the point style. The material identity should remain attached to the set screw family because substitutions can change both ordering and application review.
The UNF series and 24 threads per inch are derived from the thread designation. The squared-off end presents a full-bearing face, giving the screw a wider contact patch than pointed styles. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962, including set screws for uncommon service requirements.
