Value Collection 0808FSR 8-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0808FSR is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for metal fastening applications in trade and industrial settings. This round head screw features a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread in pre-drilled or punched holes in sheet metal and light-gauge steel assemblies. The dual-drive design accepts both a No. 2 slotted and No. 2 Phillips driver, adding flexibility on the job. The fastener measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and carries a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Manufactured from AISI 1016 to 1024 steel, it meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards. These screws are sold in minimum quantities of 100 per order.

Thread cutting screws of this type are commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, light-gauge metal panels, and sheet metal ductwork components. The Type F point is suited for use in ferrous metals where a self-tapping thread form is needed without the need for a pre-tapped hole. This screw is a standard fastener stocked and used by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors who work with light-gauge steel components on a regular basis.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads directly into pre-drilled metal without a tapped hole
• Dual-drive round head accepts No. 2 slotted or No. 2 Phillips driver
• 8-32 UNC thread size for use in light-gauge ferrous metal assemblies
• 0.5 inch length under head suits thin-material fastening applications
• Zinc-plated AISI 1016-1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports production and service inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose thread cutting screw for light-gauge steel panels, enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies requiring an 8-32 UNC fastener with a Type F point and round head profile.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips or No. 2 slotted screwdriver or power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the newly cut thread. Always drill or punch a correctly sized pilot hole in the base material before driving the screw. Disconnect power to any electrical equipment or de-energize any HVAC system before fastening panels or covers. Follow applicable NEC or manufacturer guidelines when securing electrical enclosures.
