10-24 x 5/16 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert helps address both component slip and screw back-out in one specified item. This double-lock arrangement separates the shaft-holding role of the cup point from the thread-locking role of the nylon insert. For final material selection, consider moisture, cleaning exposure, mating material, and whether 18-8 is suitable for the service conditions.
This size is often reviewed for marine-adjacent hardware after chloride review, collars, and component retention when stainless material and thread locking are both specified. For 316 stainless with a nylon insert, treat the requirement as a non-catalog request that Cold Headers can quote.
Cold Headers supports hard-to-find socket set screw sourcing, including uncommon lengths and nylon-insert 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.
