Value Collection R63288482 Brass Thumb Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63288482 is a brass thumb screw with an oval head and 1/4-20 UNC thread. It is designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not required or practical. The screw measures 2 inches in overall length, with a head diameter of 0.55 inches and a head height of 0.64 inches. Made from brass, it offers natural corrosion resistance and is well suited for use in enclosures, panels, access covers, and light-duty fastening assemblies. This fastener follows inch-system dimensions and UNC thread standards, making it straightforward to source replacements or matching hardware.

This thumb screw is used in applications where frequent manual adjustment or removal is needed without tools. Common install scenarios include electrical enclosure covers, instrument panels, HVAC access doors, and general light-duty assemblies in both residential and commercial settings. The oval head profile provides a comfortable grip surface for hand operation. Tradespeople working in tight spaces or on panels that require routine access will find this fastener a practical choice for repeated open-and-close cycles.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require power tools; hand-tightening is standard for this fastener type. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as brass is softer than steel and threads may strip under excessive torque. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical panel codes when using this fastener in code-governed assemblies.
