❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Plastic Knurled Thumb Screws

1. How do I measure the length of a thumb screw?

For these thumb screws, the length is measured from the underside of the plastic head to the tip of the threaded metal stud. The head itself is NOT included. For example, an “M5 x 15mm” screw has a 15mm long threaded shaft under the head. Select your required stud length from the dropdown.

2. Are the plastic heads removable? Can I replace them?

The plastic head is permanently fixed (molded or pressed) onto the metal stud. They are not designed to be removed. If you need a different head style or colour, please contact us for custom options.

3. Will the zinc‑plated stud rust? Can I use these outdoors?

Zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance – suitable for indoor use and occasional light outdoor exposure. For continuous outdoor or marine environments, consider stainless steel thumb screws (available in our store).

4. Do I need a nut or washer with these screws?

If you have a pre‑tapped hole (e.g., a threaded insert in plastic or metal), no nut is needed. If you are fastening through a plain hole, use a standard metric nut of the same thread size. Washers are optional for load distribution.

5. What sizes do you have in stock?

We stock 12#‑48# size thumb screws (head diameters). For specific thread sizes and lengths, please contact customer service. Custom orders are welcome.

6. Is the head truly non‑conductive? Can I use these on electrical equipment?

Yes – the black plastic head is electrically insulating. However, the metal stud is conductive. For complete insulation, use a plastic washer or ensure the stud does not contact live circuits. They are safe for low‑voltage enclosure covers.
