Value Collection R63284966 Thumb Screw 10-32 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63284966 is an 18-8 stainless steel thumb screw in a 10-32 UNF thread size with an oval head and shoulder configuration. Designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not practical or convenient, this fastener provides reliable clamping and adjustment in assemblies that require frequent removal or repositioning. The oval head measures 0.42 inches in diameter and 0.48 inches in height. The overall length is 3/8 inch. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers good corrosion resistance in mild to moderately corrosive environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment covers commonly use this type of fastener.

This thumb screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks where hand operation is required. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is standard in precision instrument and equipment panels. The with-shoulder design provides a positive stop and helps maintain consistent engagement depth. Typical applications include access panels, cover plates, and adjustment mechanisms across residential and commercial mechanical equipment installations.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before servicing panels or covers secured by this fastener. Ensure the mating threaded insert or nut is clean and free of debris before engaging the screw. Hand-tighten only — do not use power tools, as over-torquing an oval-head thumb screw can damage the head or strip the thread. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines for panel fastener specifications.
