3/8-16 x 1/4 Brass Tip 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is intended for holding, locating, or adjustment work where a brass tip helps reduce marking. A brass tip can suit assemblies that need a nonferrous contact face with an 18-8 stainless screw body.
Food equipment adjustment points may use 18-8 tip screws where the equipment specification allows this material. Internal socket access keeps the screw headless for compact adjustment points.
For maintenance, production, and distributor sourcing, Cold Headers can help verify size and tip data. Check the 3/8-16 x 1/4 thread, threaded length, tip length, tip diameter, mating material, and drive access against the drawing. The specified 3A thread fit supports close thread engagement without adding unlisted tolerance claims. Use this tip style for surface contact; use 18-8 Set Screws with Nylon Insert for a self-locking thread element. If the application needs aggressive point bite instead of a soft contact face, Cup Point 18-8 Socket Set Screws may be the better comparison.
