Value Collection 0810FPF 8-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0810FPF is a Type F thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled holes in thin metal, sheet metal brackets, and similar materials. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size and a 5/8 inch overall length. The flat head profile sits flush with the surface when fully driven. The No. 2 Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits. Made from 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists light corrosion and provides reliable holding strength in typical indoor mechanical and electrical assemblies. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces.

This screw is suited for light industrial, HVAC panel, electrical enclosure, and mechanical assembly applications where a flush-sitting fastener is needed in metal stock. The Type F point features a blunt, fluted tip that cuts its own mating thread as it is driven, eliminating the need for a tapped hole in many thin-gauge metal applications. Typical users include HVAC technicians, electricians, and assembly technicians working with sheet metal components and control panel housings.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for standard coarse unified thread engagement
• 5/8 inch overall length for thin-gauge fastening applications
• Type F point cuts mating threads in pre-drilled metal holes
• Flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully seated
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand tools
• Zinc-plated 1016-1024 steel construction for light corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC Type F thread cutting screw suitable for use in thin metal panels, sheet metal enclosures, and similar light-duty fastening applications where flush head seating is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is appropriate for the gauge of material being fastened before driving. Do not overdrive — the flat head should seat flush without distorting the surrounding material. Follow applicable ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 fastener standards for proper installation practice.
