Value Collection TSI-100100P0-025B Steel Thumb Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TSI-100100P0-025B is a grade 2 steel thumb screw with a 10-24 UNC thread and an oval head profile. Measuring 1 inch overall length, it features a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty applications. The oval head allows for finger-tightening without tools, making it a common choice for access panels, enclosures, and assemblies where frequent removal is expected. This item is sold as a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces and is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who need a reliable, standardized fastener for sheet metal and light structural work.

This thumb screw is used in residential and light commercial applications where hand-adjustable fastening is required. Typical uses include securing equipment access covers, junction box panels, and instrument enclosures. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely used standard size in electrical and HVAC enclosure work, fitting standard tapped holes in sheet metal and aluminum extrusions. Both shoulder and without-shoulder configurations are noted in the specification, making this part suitable for a range of panel thicknesses and clearance requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hand; no torque tool is required for standard panel-securing applications. Confirm the mating tapped hole is clean and undamaged before threading to avoid cross-threading the zinc-plated fastener. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before removing or installing access panel fasteners in compliance with applicable NEC lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use in high-vibration environments without a locking insert or secondary retention method.
