10-32 x 5/16 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert places the cup rim at the workpiece and the nylon insert at the mating thread. The point focuses contact at the work surface, and the pellet creates prevailing torque after the screw is driven into the tapped hole. Use 18-8 stainless where the drawing calls for stainless material in indoor machinery, washdown-adjacent equipment, or humid service.
This size is often reviewed for outdoor equipment linkages, adjustable stops, and service hardware 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 installs the locking pellet in-house on supported socket set screw sizes, with odd-size requests handled through quoting. 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.
