7/16-20 x 2 1/4 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw supports collar, hub, and stop locations that have been prepared for flat-end contact.
For 7/16-20 x 2 1/4, review the flat point around production equipment, conveyors, and packaging machinery and bearing locations that need flat-face contact instead of penetration. The broad end face suits prepared flats, repeated adjustment, and jobs where unnecessary deformation of the mating component would create service problems.
The 7/16-20 designation supplies the ordering thread form, and the 2 1/4 in. length should be checked against tapped depth and bearing location. Keep the flat point callout intact when comparing older orders, drawings, or service notes. Alloy steel is stated here as the catalog material; no unverified finish or numeric mechanical property is added.
The UNF series and 20 threads per inch are derived from the thread designation. This point style favors bearing contact over penetration, which helps separate it from sharper holding geometries. Cold Headers assists maintenance, distributor, and production requests where point style changes the ordered item.
