Value Collection A210412 10-32 Unf Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A210412 is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for reliable fastening in metal substrates. It features a pan head with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread as it is driven into pre-drilled or punched holes. Constructed from 410 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for demanding service environments. The 1-inch length under the head makes it appropriate for moderate-thickness material assemblies encountered in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet-metal applications.

This screw is commonly used in light to medium commercial and residential fabrication and service work. Typical applications include fastening HVAC cabinet panels, junction box covers, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings where a self-threading fastener eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole. The Phillips drive accommodates standard power tools for fast installation. The Type F point is engineered specifically for use in metal, producing clean threads without requiring a tap. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread size for fine-thread engagement in metal
• Type F thread cutting point eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and broad clamping area
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• 410 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Uncoated finish suitable for interior and protected exterior applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF Type F thread cutting screw for use in metal panels, enclosures, and sheet-metal assemblies where a self-threading fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet-metal mechanics using a Phillips-head bit and a power driver or hand screwdriver. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is appropriate for the base material thickness and the 10-32 thread size before driving. Do not overtorque, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven at excessive speed or force. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener placement and spacing.
