This essential fastener is designed for demanding commercial environments, featuring durable stainless steel construction to resist corrosion, rust, and degradation from constant exposure to heat and moisture. A socket set screw, or grub screw, is critical for securely fixing components in place without a protruding head, providing a clean, flush finish and reliable hold against vibration. Key features include the internal hexagonal drive, which allows for maximum torque during installation, ensuring a tight and lasting fit.

The benefit of using this specific OEM set screw is the guarantee of exact dimensional fit for its designated application within your espresso equipment. Set screws are typically used to lock rotating parts onto a shaft (such as knobs, levers, or specialized couplings) or to precisely adjust the position of internal mechanisms. By preventing slippage and maintaining factory alignment, this small but mighty component directly contributes to consistent machine performance and shot quality. Replacing worn or loose set screws is crucial preventive maintenance that avoids costly operational failures and unexpected downtime.

This replacement part is an SS #10-32 x 3/8" thread size and length, confirming compatibility with specific mechanisms requiring this exact specification. Installation requires a standard hex key (Allen wrench) appropriate for the socket size. Always verify the correct torque specifications for your machine’s manual to ensure the component is secured without causing damage.
