Electro Hardware THN5006M07F16 Thumb Nut 10-32 Unf Ss

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THN5006M07F16 is a round knurled thumb nut designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not practical or accessible. Manufactured from Grade 302/303 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and light outdoor service environments. The 10-32 UNF thread pattern provides a fine-pitch engagement for secure, vibration-resistant fastening. At 11/32 inches overall height and 1/2 inch head diameter, it is compact enough for panel assemblies, access covers, and instrument enclosures where frequent removal is required. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This thumb nut is suited for light-duty fastening tasks across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure covers, pool equipment access covers, and general trade service applications where tool-free removal is a routine requirement. The knurled head profile provides positive grip even with gloved hands. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, including mechanical rooms and outdoor equipment housings. The fine 10-32 UNF thread is widely used in instrument-grade and panel hardware assemblies across residential and commercial trade applications.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only — do not use power tools or wrenches on thumb nuts, as the knurled head is not designed for tool torque and can be damaged. Before servicing any panel or enclosure, de-energize electrical systems per applicable NEC requirements or shut off relevant mechanical systems per IFGC or IPC guidelines. Inspect the mating threaded stud or insert for damage or corrosion before installation. Minimum order quantity is 2 units.
