Value Collection 1-CDT-10-M7- Iron Thumb Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-CDT-10-M7- is an iron winged thumb screw with a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a 3-inch length under the head. The winged head style allows hand-tightening without tools, making it well suited for applications that require frequent adjustment or removal. The screw features a shoulder between the head and the threaded shank. At 0.06 pounds, it is a lightweight fastener intended for light-duty clamping, panel attachment, or fixture assembly work where a tool-free connection is acceptable. The uncoated iron construction keeps cost low in dry, indoor environments.

This thumb screw is used in general industrial, mechanical, and assembly applications where hand-operated fastening is required. The winged head design is common on jigs, fixtures, guards, enclosure panels, and equipment covers across manufacturing, maintenance, and trade service environments. It is sold and installed as a single-piece fastener. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics commonly use winged thumb screws when securing access panels or light-duty covers that must be removed regularly during service calls.

Key Features

• Winged head allows hand-tightening and removal without tools
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for wide fastener compatibility
• Shoulder design provides a bearing surface between head and threaded section

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC winged thumb screw for use in any application requiring a hand-tightened fastener with that thread size and a 3-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only — do not apply power tools or wrenches to a winged thumb screw, as the head is not designed for tool torque and can crack or deform. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut matches the 1/4-20 UNC standard before installation. In panel or enclosure applications, confirm the combined material thickness does not exceed the 3-inch length under head. No special certifications or codes apply to this fastener type in typical trade service use.
