10-32 x 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is intended for contact points where a rounded tip is preferred over a rim bite or sharp interlock. 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.

Machine rebuilds use this family when the service record calls for alloy steel, an oval point, and a nylon insert. A stainless oval point screw with nylon insert is a non-catalog request Cold Headers can quote for environments that require it.

Cold Headers can review non-catalog oval point set screw needs when the application requires a nylon insert. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962, with separate catalog language for each set screw point style. Check size, socket, pellet dimensions, and seat condition before substitution.
