Value Collection -34441-1/2 Oval Head Thumb Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34441-1/2 is a Grade 2 steel thumb screw with an oval head profile, designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required. It carries a 10-32 UNF thread form and measures 0.5 inches overall length. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in light-duty indoor environments. This fastener is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, panel builders, and general contractors for securing covers, access panels, and enclosure hardware without the need for a driver. Sold in a package of 25 pieces.

This thumb screw is suited for light-gauge assemblies, instrument enclosures, electrical panels, and equipment covers where frequent hand removal is required. The oval head style sits flush or slightly proud of the mating surface, offering a clean finished appearance. The inch-standard 10-32 UNF thread makes it compatible with standard tapped holes found throughout electrical and mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial applications. Installers typically use these in situations where frequent access is needed and tool-free operation is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal use. Before servicing any enclosure or panel secured by these fasteners, de-energize the equipment and follow applicable lockout-tagout procedures per OSHA and NEC guidelines. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not over-tighten by applying tools, as the oval head is designed for hand torque only.
