Value Collection 83-98-909Y Rosette Thumb Screw 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 83-98-909Y is a plastic rosette head thumb screw designed for tool-free fastening in light-duty assembly, enclosure, and panel applications. The rosette head profile provides a wide grip surface that allows hand-tightening without a driver. The screw features a 3/8 inch cap screw size, an overall length of 1.5 inches, and a head diameter of 1.5 inches. The yellow head color aids quick visual identification on equipment covers, access panels, and jigs. Made from plastic, this fastener is well suited for non-structural applications where corrosion resistance or electrical isolation is a priority.

This thumb screw is used in residential and commercial settings wherever repeated manual access is required - machine guards, instrument enclosures, junction box covers, and fixture panels. The rosette head style is a common choice in control panel fabrication and light industrial assembly where operators need to remove and reinstall covers frequently without tools. Sold in a package quantity of 100, this part is practical for stocking in shop bins or service vans.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without special tools. Verify that the mating threaded hole or insert matches the 3/8 inch cap screw size before installation. Do not over-torque - plastic fasteners are not rated for high-clamp-load structural joints. Inspect the head for cracking or deformation periodically in high-cycle applications.
