Value Collection R63283688 Brass Thumb Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63283688 is a brass thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not practical or necessary. It features a 10-24 UNC thread and an oval head profile, making it well suited for panel access, instrument enclosures, jigs, and light-duty assemblies that require frequent removal and reinstallation. The head diameter measures 0.42 inches and the head height measures 0.48 inches. Overall length is 0.5 inches. Machined from brass, this fastener resists corrosion and avoids galvanic issues when used with non-ferrous hardware. Trade and maintenance professionals install this type of fastener in control panels, HVAC access covers, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies.

This thumb screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 10-24 UNC thread pattern is specified and hand-tightening is preferred. Typical uses include securing removable access panels, filter frames, junction box covers, and instrumentation housings. The oval head provides a smooth, low-profile grip surface without requiring a driver. It ships individually and is sold as a single piece, making it convenient for replacement or prototype work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly specifying a 10-24 UNC thumb screw with an oval head and 0.5 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Install by hand into a pre-tapped 10-24 UNC hole or threaded insert. Verify the mating thread condition before installation to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque brass fasteners with tools, as the material is softer than steel and the head can shear or deform under excessive force. Shut off or de-energize any panel or enclosure before servicing fasteners on live electrical equipment.
