Value Collection R63284680 Thumb Screw 8-32 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63284680 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with an oval head and shoulder, designed for hand-tightening applications where tool-free fastening is required. Sized to 8-32 UNC threading and a 0.5 inch overall length, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light outdoor environments. The oval head profile measures 0.36 inches in diameter and 0.38 inches in height, providing a low-profile grip surface. Machinists, assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople commonly use these screws in panel access points, enclosures, and equipment covers.

This thumb screw is suited for light fastening tasks across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, control boxes, and general industrial assemblies where repeated hand removal and reinstallation is needed. The shoulder design helps locate and retain the fastener during assembly. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for both shop and field use in moderate-duty applications.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand; no drive tool is required. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-tighten by hand, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling. Always verify thread engagement before applying load to the assembly.
