It features a 10-24 UNC thread form, a 3\/8-inch length under the head, and a Type F point, which uses a blunt, interrupted thread tip to shear and displace material for a secure thread form. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener is suited for light-to-medium assembly work where tapping a separate thread is impractical. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers regularly use this style of screw for panel, bracket, and equipment enclosure assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used in residential and commercial trade applications where self-threading into thin metals, plastics, or composite materials is required. Common installation scenarios include securing electrical enclosure covers, HVAC cabinet panels, control board mounting brackets, and similar light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The hex head drive allows installation with a standard nut driver or socket, making it practical in tight spaces. This fastener is sold individually by the package with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for bulk service-truck stocking or job-site replenishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F thread cutting point shears mating threads without a separate tapping operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-24 UNC thread size suits standard light-gauge metal and plastic applications common in HVAC and electrical work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch length under head provides positive clamping with minimal material stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction delivers adequate shear and tensile strength for panel and bracket fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head drive is compatible with standard 1\/4-inch hex nut drivers and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock fastener for light-gauge metal panels, equipment enclosures, and brackets requiring a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw with a hex head drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers using a nut driver or socket driver sized for a hex head fastener. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout-tagout requirements. Ensure the base material thickness and hole diameter are appropriate for the 10-24 thread form to achieve full thread engagement. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel fasteners in thin sheet metal can strip threads if excessive torque is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type F Thread Cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31829\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697088823602,"sku":"31829","price":77.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/50385d653a1f0d822e7fc8511a5f40f1.jpg?v=1788349255","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-31829-hex-thread-cutting-screw-10-24-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
