Value Collection C24029 1/4-20 Unc Thread Cutting Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C24029 is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in materials that require the fastener to form its own mating thread during installation. This screw features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point, which uses a blunt, tapered tip with cutting flutes to tap threads into ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as some plastics. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, the C24029 provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. Each package contains 50 screws.

This screw is suited for light structural and sheet metal assembly work in commercial and industrial settings. Common applications include attaching brackets, enclosures, panels, and electrical boxes where a self-threading fastener eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole. The 1/4-20 UNC thread size and 1-inch length under head make this screw appropriate for joining thin to medium gauge metal components. Trade professionals including electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors will find this a practical fastener for panel and enclosure work.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads into the mating material without a pre-tapped hole
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand tools
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty use
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose fastening strength
• Sold in a 50-count package for jobsite and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thread cutting screw for use in applications requiring 1/4-20 UNC fasteners with a Type F cutting point in ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, and compatible plastic substrates.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting screws should be driven at controlled speed to avoid stripping the newly formed threads in the mating material. A pilot hole sized appropriately for the material type and gauge is recommended before driving. Use a Phillips bit that fits snugly in the drive recess to prevent cam-out. Ensure the work material is secured before driving to avoid movement during thread formation.
