Value Collection -34423-2 Oval Head Thumb Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34423-2 is a steel oval head thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required for assembly or adjustment. This screw features a 1/4-20 UNC thread standard and measures 2 inches overall length. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor use. Manufactured to Material Grade 2, this thumb screw includes a shoulder and is intended for use in light-to-medium duty fastening tasks across industrial, mechanical, and equipment panel applications. Each package contains 25 pieces.

This thumb screw is suited for applications requiring frequent manual adjustment or removal without tooling. Common uses include panel access covers, jigs and fixtures, machine guards, electronic enclosures, and equipment housings. The oval head profile provides a smooth, low-profile surface for hand operation. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most widely used coarse-thread standards in inch-based mechanical assemblies, making this fastener broadly applicable across maintenance and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-based hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-system fastener compatible with any tapped or threaded insert accepting a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without tools in most applications. Verify that the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installing. Do not over-torque by hand; if resistance is felt before the screw is fully seated, inspect the thread for damage or cross-threading. For structural or load-bearing connections, consult applicable mechanical standards before specifying thumb screws as the primary fastener.
