1/4-20 x 7/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is the nylon-insert version of a flat point socket set screw for compact industrial assemblies. The internal hex drive keeps the screw headless and accessible in collars, hubs, and compact machine details. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.

Finished shafting, control rods, and small mechanical linkages can use a broad contact point to reduce marring. ASME B18.3 places flat point diameter in a qualitative band of about 0.55-0.62 times nominal screw diameter, so confirm the mating seat rather than substituting a sharp point.

The catalog keeps this family separate from plain flat point screws so the nylon insert requirement remains visible. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
