Gibraltar TS-830-G Steel Thumb Screw M8 X 1.25

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR TS-830-G is a metric thumb screw designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not available or practical. It features a knurled plastic head for a secure grip and a zinc-plated steel shank for corrosion resistance. The M8 x 1.25 thread standard makes it compatible with common metric fastener assemblies. With a 30 mm head diameter and 11 mm head height, the part provides ample surface area for finger torque. A shouldered design adds positional stability during installation. This fastener is used by maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and field service professionals across industrial and commercial settings.

This thumb screw is suited for panel access covers, enclosure doors, machine guards, and equipment housings that require frequent removal and reinstallation without tools. The shoulder design keeps the screw aligned within a boss or clearance hole, reducing the chance of cross-threading. It is a practical choice wherever quick-release, hand-operated fastening is specified in light to medium-duty assemblies.

Installation Notes

This thumb screw is installed by hand and does not require a driver or wrench under normal service conditions. Before installation, confirm the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris to prevent thread damage. Do not apply power tools to the plastic head, as this may crack or strip the head. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing access panels or safety guards.
