4-48 x 1 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is selected for shaft-mounted parts that need a rounded set screw contact instead of a pointed bite.
Oval point geometry is useful when a shaft, groove, or angled surface must be repositioned during service without chewing the contact area.
Keep the alloy steel callout tied to the ordered part, while still reviewing exposure conditions and the surface condition expected at the contact point.
Typical review areas for 4-48 x 1 1/4 include handles, collars, accessories, and retained components and equipment rebuilds, service records, and exact-size substitutions where smoother point contact is part of the assembly.
The 4-48 callout corresponds to UNF thread form and 48 TPI; verify the 1 1/4 in. length against tapped depth and the desired bearing location. Match the thread and length to the print because length changes can alter where the oval end lands. Cold Headers assists with exact-size sourcing when oval point geometry matters to the final order.
