8-32 x 3/16 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is intended for headless fastening where drive access is through the socket and point style determines the seating action. Oval point versions use a radiused tip that contacts at a tangent, which can suit curved seating surfaces, splines, grooves, and repeat positioning work.
Common application reviews include pumps, outdoor fixtures, and conveyor components. Use the cone and 1/2 dog options for more fixed seating arrangements, while flat and oval options are often reviewed where readjustment or reduced surface marking matters.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material referenced to ASTM F880, used for general atmosphere, moisture exposure, and clean appearance. When standard catalog searches are too broad, Cold Headers supports precise socket set screw sourcing by size and point-style requirement.
