Value Collection R63283442 10-24 Oval Head Thumb Screw Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63283442 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with an oval head profile and a 10-24 UNC thread. It is designed for applications where hand-tightening is required without tools. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for use in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. The oval head measures 0.42 inches in diameter and 0.48 inches in height, with an overall length of 1 inch. This fastener is sold individually and is appropriate for light mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, and equipment access covers across HVAC, electrical, and general industrial trade work.

This thumb screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where frequent hand-removal of panels, covers, or access doors is required. The 10-24 UNC thread is a common size in sheet metal and equipment enclosure assemblies. Tradespeople in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing will encounter this thread size on control panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings. The oval head profile provides a smooth, low-profile grip surface. No shoulder is present, making this a standard through-hole or threaded-insert fastener for general-purpose use.

Installation Notes

Installation is hand-tightening only — do not apply a driver or wrench to this fastener, as the oval head is not designed for tool torque. Verify the mating thread is 10-24 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. When used on electrical enclosures, ensure the panel or equipment is de-energized before servicing. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for panel access fastener requirements.
