Value Collection 1032TSP Steel Thumb Screw 10-24 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1032TSP is a 2-inch steel thumb screw with a 10-24 UNC thread and an oval head profile. It features a shoulder design that provides a positive stop during installation, making it well suited for applications requiring repeatable positioning or panel assembly work. The head measures 0.39 inches in diameter and 0.49 inches in height, and the shoulder diameter is 0.33 inches. Finished uncoated, this fastener is typically installed by hand and is common in light mechanical assemblies, enclosure panels, and fixture mounting scenarios encountered by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade mechanics.

This thumb screw is appropriate for use in residential and commercial applications wherever a tool-free or hand-tightened fastener is needed. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard in inch-measurement fastener systems, making this screw compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts of the same designation. It is commonly found in electrical enclosures, HVAC access panels, instrument housings, and similar assemblies that require frequent access or field servicing.

Installation Notes

Thumb screws of this type are installed and removed by hand without tools, though a flat-blade screwdriver may be used if additional torque is needed. Always ensure the mating threaded hole or insert matches the 10-24 UNC thread specification before installation. De-energize any electrical panel or enclosure before accessing fasteners on live equipment. Inspect threads for damage before reinstalling to avoid cross-threading.
