Value Collection TSI0370150S0-050BX 3/8-16 Thumb Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TSI0370150S0-050BX is a Grade 2 steel thumb screw with a 3/8-16 thread and an oval head profile. It measures 1.5 inches overall length and features a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor applications. The with-shoulder design provides a defined bearing surface during assembly. This fastener is used by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades wherever a hand-tightened, tool-free connection is required. Sold in a box of 50 units, it suits shops and field crews that need a reliable quantity on hand for repeated service tasks.

This thumb screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, access panels, equipment enclosures, and electrical junction covers where frequent removal and reinstallation are expected. The 3/8-16 UNC and UNF thread standard makes it compatible with a wide range of tapped holes in standard inch-dimensioned hardware. The oval head provides a comfortable grip surface for finger-tightening without the need for a driver or wrench. Applications span residential and light commercial service environments.

De-energize or shut off any equipment before removing or reinstalling access panel fasteners. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing electrical enclosure hardware.
