Value Collection TSI0310050P0-100BX Steel Thumb Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TSI0310050P0-100BX is a Grade 2 steel thumb screw with a 5/16-18 UNC thread and an oval head profile. At 0.5 inches overall length, this fastener is designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are impractical or unnecessary. The zinc-plated finish provides a basic layer of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor use. This box contains 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production, maintenance, or service environments where consistent fastener supply is needed. Tradespeople and assemblers working in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, or light mechanical assemblies will find this a standard-duty thumb screw for repeated access points.

This thumb screw is suited for residential and light commercial assembly applications requiring frequent manual adjustment or removal without tooling. The oval head style provides a low-profile, smooth surface that resists snagging in close-clearance installations. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a common imperial standard, making this fastener compatible with a wide range of tapped holes found in sheet metal panels, junction boxes, and equipment access covers. Sold in a minimum quantity of 100 units per order, this SKU is intended for shop stock, service van inventory, or production line use.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style thumb screw replacement or new-installation fastener for any application using 5/16-18 UNC tapped holes requiring hand-operated access fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tooling - these fasteners are designed for hand-tightening only. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not use power tools or wrenches, as over-torquing an oval-head thumb screw can strip the thread or deform the head. Power down any electrical enclosure before servicing fasteners on live panels per applicable NEC guidelines.
