Value Collection R63283022 Thumb Screw 3/8-16 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63283022 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with an oval head profile and a 3/8-16 UNC thread. It is a manually tightened fastener designed for applications where tools are not practical or where frequent adjustment, removal, or repositioning is required. The oval head measures 0.83 inches in diameter and 0.95 inches in height, providing a low-profile grip surface. The overall length is 3/4 inch. Fabricated from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance for use in light industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments.

This thumb screw is suited for panel access covers, enclosure doors, jigs, fixtures, and equipment guards where hand-tightening is the intended fastening method. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread standards in inch-system applications, making this fastener a straightforward fit in a wide range of assemblies across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical service contexts.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• Oval head design allows tool-free hand tightening and removal
• 0.83-inch head diameter and 0.95-inch head height for secure finger grip
• 3/4-inch overall length suits shallow-panel and light-duty clamping applications
• Without-shoulder configuration for direct thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly with a 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole requiring a thumb screw with an oval head profile.

Installation Notes

Install by hand into a properly tapped or threaded insert rated for 3/8-16 UNC. De-energize or shut down any associated equipment before servicing panels or enclosures secured by this fastener. Do not exceed hand-tight torque unless a driver tool is specifically required by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect threads for galling periodically, as stainless-to-stainless thread engagement can be prone to cold welding under high clamping loads.
