Value Collection 1106FPU 10-32 Unf Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1106FPU is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastic, and composite materials. Built from AISI 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener features a flat undercut head driven by a No. 2 Phillips driver and a Type F point for clean thread forming. At 3/8 inch overall length, it is suited for light-gauge sheet metal and close-tolerance assembly applications where a low-profile head is required. Sold individually by the package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

This screw is commonly used in light industrial assembly, HVAC cabinet fabrication, electrical enclosure construction, and general sheet metal work. The flat undercut head sits flush or recessed for a clean finish where head protrusion is a concern. The Type F point cuts threads on entry, eliminating the need for a tapped hole in many light-gauge applications. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, and electricians working with metal enclosures and panels.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread size for fine-thread engagement in metal and engineered materials
• Type F point cuts mating threads without a pre-tapped hole in light-gauge stock
• Flat undercut head profile for flush or recessed seating
• No. 2 Phillips drive — compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• Zinc-plated AISI 1016-1024 steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal panels, enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies where a flat undercut head profile and Type F point are specified.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping threads in light-gauge material. Ensure the pilot hole diameter matches the recommended specification for 10-32 Type F thread cutting screws before driving. Do not over-drive — the flat undercut head is designed to seat flush, and excess torque can damage the mating material or fastener head. Handle in bulk quantities with care to avoid finish damage during storage and dispensing.
