Value Collection R63284323 Thumb Screw 8-32 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63284323 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not practical or accessible. It features an oval head profile and a shouldered shank, threaded to the 8-32 UNC standard. The head measures 0.36 inches in diameter and 0.38 inches in height, with an overall length of 0.75 inches. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance and is suitable for general-purpose mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels across HVAC, electrical, and light industrial trades.

This thumb screw is suited for use in residential and commercial applications where frequent hand removal and reinstallation are required, such as access panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and instrument enclosures. The oval head design allows for positive grip without sharp edges, and the shouldered construction provides consistent seating depth. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors commonly use this type of fastener when servicing field equipment that requires repeated access.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Oval head profile provides comfortable hand grip for tool-free operation
• With-shoulder shank design for consistent seating and panel alignment
• 8-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard tapped hardware
• Compact 0.75 inch overall length suits thin panel and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application accepting an 8-32 UNC threaded fastener with an oval head profile, including equipment panels, enclosure covers, and mechanical assemblies requiring hand-tightened access hardware.

Installation Notes

Install by hand into a pre-tapped 8-32 UNC hole or a compatible threaded insert. Verify thread engagement is sufficient before applying load. Avoid over-tightening, as thumb screws are designed for hand-torque operation only and excessive force can strip threads or damage the head. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation.
