Value Collection R63284882 Thumb Screw 10-24 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63284882 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw with a 10-24 UNC thread and an oval head design. It features a shoulder under the head, providing a positive seating surface and resistance to pull-through in assembled panels or fixtures. The head measures 0.42 inches in diameter and 0.48 inches in height. Overall length is 3/4 inch. Built from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers good corrosion resistance across a wide range of service environments. It is hand-tightened without tools, making it well suited for access panels, enclosures, and equipment covers that require frequent removal or adjustment.

This thumb screw is used in light-duty hand-fastening applications across HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical panel covers, plumbing access doors, and general trade or industrial assemblies. The 10-24 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American trade hardware, compatible with standard 10-24 threaded inserts, nuts, and tapped holes. The oval head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance on visible surfaces. The with-shoulder configuration helps distribute load and resist loosening under vibration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without tools; no torque specification applies under normal use. Always ensure the mating thread or insert is clean and free of debris before installation. When used on energized electrical enclosures, de-energize and lock out the panel before removing or reinstalling cover fasteners in accordance with applicable electrical codes. Inspect threads periodically for wear or galling, which can occur over repeated cycles on stainless-to-stainless thread pairings.
