8-32 x 7/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a heat-treated alloy steel flat point socket set screw with a nylon insert for prevailing torque. Flat point geometry favors surface protection and repeatable adjustment rather than maximum bite into the mating part. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.

Handle and control retention often benefits from a headless screw that can be serviced from the socket end.

In-house pellet installation supports uncommon flat point nylon-insert requirements when a standard plain screw is not enough. Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers sort closely related socket products that can be easy to confuse. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
