1/2-13 x 3/8 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert fits applications that need a headless internal-hex screw, rounded point contact, and a locking insert. This point style is useful when the part may be loosened and reset without the deep mark of a biting point. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Maintenance repairs often require the same thread, length, oval point, and locking feature already installed. Alloy steel is not the corrosion-focused option, so use protective oiling or a stainless request when exposure requires it.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962, with separate catalog language for each set screw point style. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
