Value Collection C24027 1/4-20 Unc Thread Cutting Screw 50-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C24027 is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal substrates. It features a pan head profile with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts threads on installation without requiring a pre-tapped hole. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, the C24027 resists corrosion in standard indoor environments. The 1/2-inch length under head makes it suitable for light sheet metal assemblies and electrical enclosures. Sold in a package of 50, this fastener is a practical choice for maintenance stock in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications.

The C24027 is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where a self-threading fastener is needed to join sheet metal panels, equipment housings, or electrical enclosures. The Type F point is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals of light gauge. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly stock this size for panel work, equipment mounting, and field repairs where tapping a hole in advance is not practical.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, equipment enclosures, and similar applications where a Type F point thread cutting screw of this thread size is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips bit driver or screwdriver sized for a 1/4-inch pan head fastener. A correctly sized pilot hole in the base material is required before driving to ensure proper thread formation and avoid material distortion. Verify the base material gauge and hardness are within the rated range for a Type F point thread cutting screw before installation. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before installing fasteners in or on energized enclosures, following applicable NEC guidelines.
