Electro Hardware THS3027M07F16 Thumb Screw 8-32 Knurled Head

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS3027M07F16 is a 303 stainless steel thumb screw with a knurled head, designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not practical or accessible. It features an 8-32 UNC thread with an overall length of 13/16 inches, a head diameter of 3/8 inches, and a head height of 3/16 inches. The 303 stainless steel body provides good corrosion resistance and machinability, while the uncoated finish leaves the base material exposed. This fastener is installed by hand and is used wherever repeatable, tool-free removal is required in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels.

This thumb screw is suited for light-duty mechanical and electrical applications including panel covers, access doors, junction boxes, instrument housings, and equipment enclosures. The knurled head provides grip for finger-tightening without requiring a driver. It is appropriate for use in trade environments where technicians need quick-release access points on HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, or similar assemblies. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common size found across a wide range of commercial and industrial hardware applications.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand and does not require a screwdriver or wrench under normal use. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque by using tools, as the knurled head is designed for finger-tightening only. Follow applicable assembly standards and torque requirements specified by the equipment manufacturer.
