It features a hex head for reliable wrench or socket driver engagement and a Type 1\/Type D point that cuts a clean thread path on installation. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the hex head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor applications. This fastener is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical assembly work in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, sheet metal fabrication, and general trade applications. The 12-24 UNC thread size is a common standard for mounting brackets, panels, and components where a self-threading fastener simplifies assembly and eliminates the need for a nut. Trade professionals and assembly technicians working with thin-gauge steel or similar substrates will find this a practical choice for production or service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1\/Type D point cuts threads on installation — no pre-tapping required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head allows wrench or hex socket driver engagement for consistent torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light to medium-duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch length under hex head suits thin to medium panel and bracket applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 12-24 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for use in metal panels, enclosures, brackets, and light structural components where self-threading fasteners are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, sheet metal workers, and general assembly personnel using a hex driver or wrench. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 12-24 UNC thread cutting screw before installation. Do not overdrive — apply consistent, controlled torque to avoid stripping the newly formed threads. Zinc-plated fasteners are intended for dry or low-humidity indoor environments; select a higher-grade finish for outdoor or high-moisture installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Hex\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1\/Type D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 31836\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711717572914,"sku":"31836","price":43.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9f3297e2d99bd04b0e91636b1ea31fcc.jpg?v=1788478836","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-31836-12-24-unc-thread-cutting-screw-hex-head","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
