Value Collection TSFI-100050S0-100BX Thumb Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TSFI-100050S0-100BX is a steel thumb screw with a 10-32 UNF thread and an oval head profile. It carries a Material Grade 2 steel construction and a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor fastening applications. The overall length is 0.5 inches, making it suited for shallow-depth clamping or panel-retention tasks where hand-tightening without a tool is required. This box contains 100 pieces, packaged as a single unit for shop stock or job-lot replenishment. The shoulder-style shank adds a positive stop against mating surfaces, helping prevent over-insertion.

These thumb screws are commonly used in light-duty assembly, electrical enclosure panels, HVAC equipment covers, control-cabinet doors, and similar applications where frequent manual removal and reinstallation is expected. The 10-32 unified fine thread engages cleanly in standard tapped holes and threaded inserts found in sheet metal and thin-gauge steel enclosures. The zinc-plated finish is appropriate for dry or lightly protected indoor environments. Sold in a box of 100, this SKU suits contractors, maintenance shops, and panel fabricators who require reliable hand-fasteners in volume.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF oval-head thumb screw for use in tapped holes and threaded inserts common to sheet metal enclosures, HVAC equipment covers, electrical panels, and similar light-duty assemblies requiring hand-tightened fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tooling — the oval head is designed for finger-tightening only. Always verify the mating thread is 10-32 UNF before installation to avoid cross-threading. For electrical enclosures, de-energize all circuits before opening panels or replacing fasteners, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not use power tools to drive thumb screws, as over-torquing can strip the thread or damage the head.
