Value Collection R63288262 Brass Thumb Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63288262 is a brass thumb screw with a 3/8-16 UNC thread and an oval head profile. Designed for hand-tightening applications, it provides a secure, tool-free fastening solution in assemblies where frequent adjustment or removal is required. The screw measures 2 inches in overall length, with a head diameter of 0.83 inches and a head height of 0.95 inches. Machined from brass, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and light-duty trade applications. Installers working in HVAC, plumbing panel assemblies, or electrical enclosures will find the oval head shape easy to grip and torque by hand.

This thumb screw is appropriate for use in equipment panels, access covers, jigs, fixtures, and enclosures where tools are not always available. The 3/8-16 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes across a wide range of components and assemblies. It is sold individually and suits both maintenance and original installation tasks in residential and light commercial trade environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system thumb screw for use in any application with a 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole requiring hand-tightened fastening.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond clean, properly tapped 3/8-16 UNC threads in the mating component. De-energize or depressurize any assembly before replacing fasteners on live panels or pressurized enclosures. Brass fasteners should not be overtightened by hand to avoid thread galling; use only the hand force required to achieve a snug fit. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient before applying any load to the assembly.
