Value Collection TSI0-80037P0-100BX 8-32 Oval Head Thumb Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TSI0-80037P0-100BX is a Grade 2 steel thumb screw with an 8-32 UNC/UNF thread and an oval head profile. At 0.375 inches overall length, this fastener is sized for tight assemblies where a low-profile, hand-tightened connection is required. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. These screws ship in a box of 100, making them well suited for production, maintenance, and repair environments that consume fasteners in volume. Electricians, panel fabricators, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly stock this thread size for enclosure covers, control panels, and light equipment fastening tasks.

This thumb screw is a standard inch-measurement fastener in the 8-32 thread family, compatible with 8-32 tapped holes in sheet metal, plastic enclosures, and light-gauge steel components. The oval head design sits slightly above the mating surface and provides a comfortable grip for hand tightening without tools. The without-shoulder configuration means the thread runs the full usable length of the fastener. Common use cases include instrument panels, electrical enclosures, access covers, and any assembly that requires frequent removal and reinstallation by hand.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC/UNF thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-measurement tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-measurement thumb screw for use in any application with 8-32 tapped holes, including electrical enclosures, instrument panels, HVAC access covers, and light-duty equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only to avoid stripping the thread or cracking plastic mating components. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. When used in electrical enclosures, follow applicable NEC guidelines for fastener requirements on panel covers and dead fronts. Inspect threads for damage if the screw has been previously removed multiple times under loaded conditions.
