Value Collection VT1381PS Steel Thumb Screw M8x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1381PS is a metric thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required or practical. It features an oval head profile and an M8 x 1.25 thread specification, with an overall length of 25 mm. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this thumb screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical assembly environments. The part ships individually and is suited for use by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and assembly professionals who need reliable hand-driven fasteners in metric configurations.

This thumb screw is applicable in light to medium-duty assembly tasks where frequent manual adjustment or removal is required. Its oval head geometry provides a comfortable grip surface for hand operation. The M8 x 1.25 thread pitch is a standard metric coarse thread, commonly found in machinery panels, enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and tooling setups. The zinc finish adds a layer of surface protection appropriate for indoor and light-exposure industrial environments.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric coarse thread for compatibility with standard metric tapped holes
• Oval head design allows hand tightening without tools
• 25 mm overall length suitable for moderate fastening depth
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• Steel construction with Material Grade 2 for general-purpose strength

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric thumb screw for use in standard M8 x 1.25 tapped holes found in machinery panels, enclosures, jigs, and fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without tools. Verify that the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before threading in. Do not use a wrench or driver on the oval head, as this can damage the head geometry or strip the mating threads. Inspect threads for damage before reuse in critical assemblies.
