Value Collection TS-832-750-NT Steel Thumb Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TS-832-750-NT is a steel thumb screw designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not practical or available. It features an oval head profile with an 8-32 UNC/UNF thread and a 3/4-inch length under head. The screw is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and includes a nylon dog-point tip that protects mating surfaces and helps prevent the fastener from marring or damaging the workpiece. Material Grade 2 steel provides adequate strength for general-duty fastening tasks. This type of thumb screw is commonly installed by technicians and assemblers in light mechanical, electrical enclosure, and panel-access applications.

This thumb screw is suited for use in applications requiring frequent removal and hand adjustment without tools, such as access panels, instrument enclosures, control boxes, and equipment housings. The dog point tip with nylon construction is especially useful where contact with sensitive surfaces must be controlled. The inch-measurement thread standard and standard UNC/UNF designation make it compatible with commonly tapped holes found in general industrial and trade equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC/UNF thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Oval head profile allows comfortable hand torque without tooling
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance
• Nylon dog-point tip protects mating surfaces from marring
• 3/4-inch length under head suits standard panel and enclosure depths
• Material Grade 2 steel for general-duty fastening strength

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stocking thumb screw for standard 8-32 tapped holes in industrial enclosures, equipment panels, and mechanical assemblies using inch-standard fasteners.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only — do not use power tools or wrenches on thumb screw heads, as this can damage the head or strip the thread. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before servicing fasteners on live equipment. Verify thread engagement is adequate for the application load before returning equipment to service.
