Value Collection TB0006010-100BX M6x1 Oval Head Thumb Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TB0006010-100BX is a metric thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this fastener features an M6 x 1 thread and an oval head profile. The head measures 6 mm in diameter and 16.5 mm in height, providing enough grip surface for finger tightening in light-duty assemblies. The overall installed length is 10 mm. This type of fastener is commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and equipment fabricators working on panels, enclosures, and fixtures.

This thumb screw is suited for metric fastening applications in light mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, access panels, and jigs where frequent hand adjustment or removal is needed. The oval head style offers a low-profile grip point. With an M6 x 1 thread pitch, it fits standard M6-threaded inserts, nuts, and tapped holes commonly found in sheet metal and fabricated steel components.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 metric thread for compatibility with standard M6-tapped holes and hardware
• Oval head design allows tool-free hand tightening and loosening
• Grade 2 steel construction for light-duty mechanical strength
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Compact 10 mm overall length suits shallow panel and enclosure applications
• Without-shoulder design for direct thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard M6 x 1 metric-threaded applications including equipment panels, enclosures, and fabricated assemblies requiring tool-free fastener access.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal use. Verify that the mating thread is clean and free of debris before engagement. Do not overtighten by hand, as Grade 2 steel thumb screws are not rated for high-torque applications. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines when used in electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies subject to vibration.
