10-32 x 1/2 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is suited to collars, knobs, and stops that may be loosened, rotated, and reset during service. The nylon insert works in the female thread, adding prevailing torque while the oval point handles surface contact. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Linkage and lever assemblies may use this point style where the screw meets the mating part at an odd angle.

Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers distinguish similar socket set screws by point geometry and locking feature. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
