Value Collection 1-GHT-07-M7- Iron Thumb Screw 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-GHT-07-M7- is a winged iron thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required for assembly or removal. Built to a 1/2-13 UNC thread standard, this screw delivers a 3 inch length under the head and a 4 inch overall length. The winged head design allows firm finger-grip torque without a driver. The uncoated iron construction suits general industrial and mechanical assembly environments. This type of fastener is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general trade professionals working on jigs, fixtures, guards, and equipment panels.

This thumb screw is suited for use in light-duty industrial, mechanical, and shop environments where frequent manual removal and reinstallation is required. The with-shoulder design and 3/4 inch shoulder diameter provide additional bearing surface and alignment support in clearance holes. Applications include machine guarding, fixture assembly, enclosure panels, and general equipment maintenance. The 1/2-13 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread size widely used across North American manufacturing and trade environments.

Key Features

• Winged head for tool-free hand tightening and removal
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• With-shoulder design adds bearing surface and alignment in clearance holes
• Uncoated iron construction for general-purpose indoor mechanical use
• 3 inch length under head accommodates standard panel and fixture thicknesses
• 2-1/4 inch head diameter provides wide grip surface for finger torque

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 1/2-13 thumb screw for use in any tapped hole or assembly requiring a 1/2-13 coarse-thread fastener with a winged, hand-drive head.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not use power tools or wrenches on the winged head, as this can damage the head or strip the thread. Consult applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines for recommended clamping load requirements.
