Precision thumb screws designed for demanding service environments deliver reliable fastening with simple hand operation and stainless steel corrosion resistance. These fasteners secure panels, fixtures, and components where tool-free adjustments speed maintenance. The 10-24 by 1/2 inch stainless fastener combines a standardized thread form with knurled head control for repeatable torque and quick release. Engineers specified the dimensions and materials to withstand frequent handling and wet environments common in commercial kitchens and equipment rooms.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Wipe the thumb screw and surrounding high-touch zones with a mild detergent and warm water using a microfiber cloth. Rinse and dry immediately to prevent corrosion. Disinfect with an EPA-registered sanitizer on a regular schedule to stop germ transfer from menu covers, chair backs, and door handles. Inspect threads for debris and clean with a soft brush. Maintain records of cleaning to support CSA and health inspections.#@@#Additional Info#@#PartsTown FA BLT3068 thumb screw, 10-24 x 1/2 in stainless steel, provides secure manual fastening for equipment panels and fixtures, weighs 0.01 pounds and measures 0.7 in length by 0.7 in width by 0.1 in height, CSA-compatible.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Precision thumb screws designed for demanding service environments deliver reliable fastening with simple hand operation and stainless steel corrosion resistance. These fasteners secure panels, fixtures, and components where tool-free adjustments speed maintenance. The 10-24 by 1/2 inch stainless fastener combines a standardized thread form with knurled head control for repeatable torque and quick release. Engineers specified the dimensions and materials to withstand frequent handling and wet environments common in commercial kitchens and equipment rooms.
#@@# Thread Compatibility#@#
The 10-24 thread size matches common UNC tapped holes found in commercial equipment, ensuring direct interchangeability with existing threaded inserts and studs. Technicians can replace worn fasteners without machine modifications, minimizing downtime and parts staging.
#@@# Compact Length Profile#@#
At 1/2 inch in length, the screw provides adequate engagement for thin sheet components while avoiding protrusion that interferes with adjacent assemblies. Maintenance staff can use it on doors, guards, and trim where a short engagement prevents damage to internal mechanisms.
#@@# Stainless Steel Construction#@#
Stainless steel resists corrosion from humidity, steam, and cleaning chemicals used in foodservice operations, preserving fit and function over repeated cycles. Facilities managers reduce replacement frequency and maintain hygienic surfaces where metal contact must withstand sanitation protocols.
#@@# Knurled Head Control#@#
A knurled thumb head enables secure manual tightening and loosening without tools, improving service speed during adjustments and inspections. Operators gain a consistent grip even with wet or gloved hands, enhancing safety and efficiency.
#@@# Low Mass Design#@#
Weighing approximately 0.01 pounds, the fastener imposes negligible additional load on hinges and moving parts while allowing bulk storage without excessive shipping weight.
