Value Collection R63283062 Thumb Screw 3/8-16 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63283062 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with an oval head and 3/8-16 UNC threading. It is designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not available or not practical. The oval head profile provides a comfortable grip surface and a finished appearance. At 1 inch overall length, 0.83 inches in head diameter, and 0.95 inches in head height, this fastener is suited for light-duty clamping, panel attachment, and access-cover retention in mechanical, HVAC, and general trade assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderately wet or outdoor environments.

This thumb screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where hand-adjustment is required. Common install scenarios include equipment access panels, junction enclosures, instrument housings, and field-assembled mechanical frames. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a standard coarse-pitch size compatible with a wide range of tapped holes and threaded inserts found in trade equipment. No shoulder is present, making this a straight-shank design suited for through-hole or fully threaded applications.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor service conditions
• Oval head profile allows hand-tightening without tools
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1 inch overall length suits thin panel and light clamping applications
• Without-shoulder design works in through-hole and fully threaded installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC thumb screw for use in any application requiring a hand-turn fastener with an oval head in that thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. For threaded-insert or tapped-hole applications, verify thread engagement depth matches the fastener length before assembly. When used in equipment panels or enclosures, ensure power is off and all energy sources are isolated before accessing internal components. Do not use in applications requiring torqued or load-bearing fasteners where a tool-driven fastener is specified.
