Value Collection KP68351 M8 Plastic Knurled Thumb Screw 10-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP68351 is a plastic knurled head thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required. The knurled head profile provides reliable grip for finger-tightening, making this screw well suited for panel access covers, enclosure lids, equipment housings, and other assemblies that require frequent removal or adjustment. The M8 metric thread size, 26 mm head diameter, and black plastic construction make this a practical choice for light-duty fastening in industrial, electrical, and mechanical enclosure applications. Installers and technicians who need quick-release fastening without tools will find this screw a functional fit for a wide range of service applications.

This thumb screw is commonly used in residential and commercial settings wherever hand-accessible fastening is needed. Typical applications include control panel covers, junction box lids, equipment access doors, and rack-mounted enclosures. The black plastic material resists corrosion and is electrically non-conductive, making it appropriate for use near low-voltage electrical components. Each package contains 10 screws, providing enough quantity for multi-point panel retention or replacement of worn fasteners in an existing assembly.

Installation Notes

Thumb screws of this type are installed and removed by hand without the use of tools. Ensure the mating thread in the panel or housing is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as plastic fasteners can crack or strip under excessive torque. Always verify that the fastener thread engagement is sufficient for the load and vibration requirements of the application.
