Value Collection 1-DET-07-M7- Iron Thumb Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-DET-07-M7- is a winged iron thumb screw designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not practical or needed. This fastener features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and a 3-inch length under the head, giving it a 3.75-inch overall length. The winged head design provides a wide grip surface for finger tightening, making it well-suited for panels, fixtures, and assemblies that require frequent removal or adjustment. It is sold individually and ships in a quantity of one per package.

This thumb screw is used in light fabrication, machine guarding, enclosure panels, and general maintenance applications where hand-operated fasteners are specified. The with-shoulder configuration and 0.625-inch shoulder diameter help locate and align mating components during assembly. The uncoated iron construction makes it appropriate for dry, indoor environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades commonly use this style of fastener when servicing equipment access panels and junction covers.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only using the winged head lobes. Do not apply wrench or pliers to the head, as this can crack or deform the iron casting. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. For use in powered equipment, shut off and lock out power before removing or installing any fastener securing access panels or covers.
