Gibraltar Z2394 Thumb Screw 10-32 Knurled 18-8 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR Z2394 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with a knurled head, designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not practical or accessible. It features a 10-32 UNF thread and an overall length of 2-3/16 inches. The knurled head provides reliable grip for finger-driven installation and removal. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments. It is suited for use in equipment panels, enclosures, and assemblies where frequent access is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly use thumb screws of this type for securing covers and service panels.

This thumb screw is appropriate for light-duty fastening in residential and commercial applications. It is commonly installed in electrical enclosures, instrument panels, junction boxes, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar assemblies requiring repeated hand-removal. Its UNF thread standard makes it compatible with standard 10-32 tapped holes found across a wide range of trade equipment and manufactured assemblies. Sold individually, it is well suited for single-unit replacement or repair scenarios.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate environments

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading into a pre-tapped 10-32 UNF hole. No tools are required for standard hand-tightening, though a driver may be used with care to avoid overloading the knurled head. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where this fastener is being serviced or replaced.
