Value Collection 31830 10-24 Unc Hex Thread Cutting Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31830 is a 10-24 UNC hex head thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal and similar materials. Built to Grade 2 steel standards and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread during installation. The hex head drive allows for consistent torque application with a standard hex driver or wrench. Each package contains 50 screws with a 0.5-inch length under head, making this an efficient solution for high-volume mechanical assembly work.

This screw is suited for light to medium industrial and mechanical assembly applications where thread cutting into metal substrates is required. The 10-24 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-pitch standard in HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working on equipment cabinets, junction boxes, or structural sheet metal panels will find this fastener appropriate for repetitive production or service tasks.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for reliable engagement in standard coarse-pitch applications
• Type F point cuts mating threads without a pre-tapped hole
• Hex head drive provides positive, consistent torque with minimal cam-out
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general mechanical fastener strength requirements
• Zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 50-count pack supports production and service workloads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for general metal assembly requiring 10-24 UNC thread cutting screws with a hex head and Type F point in a 0.5-inch under-head length.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting screws are installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, and HVAC service professionals working on metal enclosures, panels, and equipment housings. Power down all equipment and de-energize any electrical panels before fastener installation or removal. Use a calibrated hex driver or torque wrench appropriate for the 10-24 thread to avoid stripping the cut threads. Do not reuse a thread cutting screw in the same hole if the original threads are damaged, as re-engagement integrity will be compromised.
