Value Collection R63283126 Thumb Screw 10-32 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63283126 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with a 10-32 UNF thread and an oval head profile. At 0.5 inches in overall length, it provides a compact, hand-tightened fastening solution for light assemblies, panels, and enclosures where tools are not practical or desired. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moderately wet or chemically exposed environments. With a head diameter of 0.42 inches and a head height of 0.48 inches, the oval head sits low against the mating surface while still offering enough grip area for finger tightening. This fastener suits maintenance technicians, electricians, and equipment assemblers working on panels, covers, and access doors.

This thumb screw is suited for light-duty fastening applications in electrical enclosures, HVAC access panels, control housings, and general equipment assemblies. Its 10-32 UNF thread pattern is a common standard for sheet metal and light structural assemblies in both residential and commercial settings. The absence of a shoulder simplifies through-hole installation without additional clearance machining. Sold individually, it is appropriate for single-unit replacement or small-quantity assembly work.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments
• 10-32 UNF thread for compatibility with standard inch-measurement tapped holes
• Oval head profile allows low-profile seating with adequate finger grip
• Without-shoulder design simplifies through-hole installation
• 0.5 inch overall length suits thin panel and enclosure cover applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-measurement thumb screw for use in any tapped or threaded insert accepting a 10-32 UNF fastener, including electrical panel covers, HVAC access doors, and light equipment enclosures.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand and does not require power tools under normal use. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. When used in electrical enclosures or control panels, de-energize the equipment before removing or replacing access covers. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound if the fastener will be used in a high-humidity or salt-air environment to ease future removal.
