Value Collection 1-DEL-07-17- Iron Thumb Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-DEL-07-17- is a winged iron thumb screw designed for tool-free fastening applications in trade and industrial settings. Manufactured from grade 32510 iron with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this thumb screw features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and a 1-inch length under the head. The winged head design allows hand tightening without tools, making it well suited for access panels, guards, enclosures, and removable assemblies that require frequent servicing. The shoulder construction adds stability at the mating surface during installation and removal.

This thumb screw is used in residential and light commercial applications where hand-adjustable fastening is required. Typical install scenarios include HVAC access panels, electrical enclosure covers, equipment guards, and service doors where technicians need quick, repeated access. Its standard UNC thread form works with common tapped holes and threaded inserts found throughout trade equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental thumb screw for equipment and enclosures using 5/16-18 UNC tapped holes requiring a winged, shouldered fastener in inch measurements.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require power tools and is typically performed by hand. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 5/16-18 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Inspect threads on both the screw and the receiving hole for damage before reuse. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant codes when fastening access panels or safety guards.
