Value Collection 1006TS Steel Thumb Screw 10-24 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1006TS is a steel thumb screw with an oval head and shoulder, designed for manual fastening applications that require tool-free adjustment or frequent removal. It carries a 10-24 UNC thread and measures 3/8 inch in overall length. The oval head measures 0.55 inches in diameter and 0.43 inches in height, while the shoulder diameter is 0.33 inches. A zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose use. This fastener is typically installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, machinists, and field service professionals working with panels, enclosures, and equipment covers.

This thumb screw is suited for light industrial, electrical enclosure, and equipment assembly applications where hand-tightening is preferred over a driven fastener. The shoulder design provides a positive seating surface, making it appropriate for panel retention, access doors, and fixture assemblies in both commercial and residential settings. Its inch-system 10-24 UNC thread is one of the most common thread specifications in North American equipment manufacturing.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• Oval head profile allows comfortable finger grip for repeated manual operation
• Shoulder design provides positive panel registration and reduces fastener wobble
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty use
• Steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for panel and enclosure fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system thumb screw for use in any application with a 10-24 UNC tapped hole requiring tool-free fastening.

Installation Notes

Install by hand into a pre-tapped 10-24 UNC hole; no tools are required under normal service conditions. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. For enclosure or panel applications, de-energize equipment before servicing any covers or access panels secured by these fasteners. Do not exceed the hand-tight torque appropriate for the mating material to avoid stripping the tapped hole.
