It features a Type F point, which uses a chip-clearing cutting action to form mating threads on installation without requiring a pre-tapped hole. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The under-head length is 1\/2 inch. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, HVAC service pros, electricians, and general tradespeople using a hex driver or wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light-duty sheet metal assembly, electrical enclosure work, HVAC equipment panels, and similar trade applications where a self-threading fastener is needed in thin metal or rigid substrates. The 1\/4-20 UNC thread is a widely used coarse thread standard, making this screw compatible with standard 1\/4-20 tooling and hardware. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads on installation, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC coarse thread for broad tooling compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and hex socket drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-duty fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch under-head length suits thin panel and enclosure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/4-20 UNC Type F thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and similar light-duty trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a hex wrench or hex socket driver sized for a 1\/4-20 head. Ensure the substrate material and hole size are appropriate for a Type F thread cutting point before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening near live components. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder-Head Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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 F\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\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: 31838\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714949218610,"sku":"31838","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9d68d28455b983a2efcce3c8f08e9669.jpg?v=1788508257","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-31838-hex-thread-cutting-screw-1-4-20","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
