Value Collection FUHWH037C100Z Hex Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FUHWH037C100Z is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head thread cutting screw with a Type F point, designed for creating threads in pre-drilled holes in metal and similar substrates. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this fastener delivers reliable holding strength in light- to medium-duty mechanical and structural assembly applications. The hex head drive allows for high torque application with standard hex tooling. At 1 inch in length under head, it suits shallow-to-moderate material thicknesses common in HVAC brackets, electrical enclosures, and plumbing support hardware.

This thread cutting screw is suited for use in metal fabrication, equipment assembly, and maintenance applications where a machine-screw thread must be formed on installation rather than tapped separately. Typical install scenarios include securing sheet metal panels, attaching junction boxes, fastening equipment mounting brackets, and general trade mechanical assembly. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads on installation, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size provides broad compatibility with standard hex nuts and threaded inserts
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and socket drivers for high-torque installation
• Grade 2 steel construction offers reliable tensile strength for light- to medium-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly humid environments
• 1 inch length under head suits a range of material thicknesses in typical trade assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in metal assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical support structures where thread cutting installation is required.

Installation Notes

Install using a hex wrench or socket driver sized to the hex head. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled to the appropriate pilot hole diameter specified for Type F thread cutting screws at 3/8-16 UNC before driving. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before fastening near live electrical or mechanical components. Do not overtighten, as thread cutting screws in thin metal can strip the formed threads if torque is not controlled.
