Value Collection A210403 Thread Cutting Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A210403 is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening applications that require the screw to form or cut its own mating thread in the base material. This screw features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive recess and a Type F point, which uses a blunt tapered tip with cutting edges to tap threads as the screw is driven. Constructed from 410 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical assembly work. Overall length is 0.5 inches. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, assembly workers, or trade professionals working with sheet metal, light gauge steel, or similar materials.

This screw is suited for use in light-duty fastening applications where a pre-tapped hole is not required or practical. The Type F point makes it appropriate for threading into thin ferrous metal, sheet metal panels, and similar substrates. The flat head design allows the screw to sit flush with or countersink into the mating surface, making it a common choice for enclosure assembly, electrical panels, HVAC equipment housings, and mechanical component attachment in both residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads during installation, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in compatible materials
• Flat head profile countersinks flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Phillips drive recess is compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and power drivers
• 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in general-use environments
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where additional plating or coating is not required
• 10-24 UNC thread standard is widely used across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use thread cutting fastener for applications requiring a 10-24 UNC flat head Phillips screw with a Type F point in light gauge metal or similar materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or the cut threads. Power should be de-energized and equipment should be fully de-pressurized before opening any enclosure or panel for fastener service. A properly sized pilot hole for the Type F point is recommended per the fastener manufacturer guidelines for the specific base material. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer instructions for the equipment being serviced.
