It features a hex head with a hex drive, a Type F point for controlled thread-forming action, and a zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction for corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty applications. The 1.5-inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack thickness. Sold in boxes of 100, this fastener suits production assembly, panel fabrication, and service work across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used wherever a machine-screw thread must be cut directly into a drilled hole without a separate tap operation. Common applications include sheet metal enclosures, electrical panels, equipment housings, ductwork flanges, and light structural brackets. The hex head allows installation with a standard hex wrench, nut driver, or socket, making it practical in confined spaces. Tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service regularly use Type F thread cutting screws when tapping is impractical or when a factory-tapped hole is damaged and a self-threading replacement is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts a clean thread in pre-drilled holes without a separate tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head and hex drive accept standard nut drivers, wrenches, and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light to moderate clamping loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plating offers corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-24 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard machine-screw hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBox quantity of 100 supports production assembly and service stock replenishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 10-24 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in pre-drilled holes in thin steel, aluminum, and similar materials where a Type F thread cutting screw of 1.5-inch under-head length is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with fastener selection for the base material thickness and hardness. Ensure the pre-drilled or punched pilot hole diameter matches the recommended size for a 10-24 Type F thread cutting screw in the target material to avoid stripping or over-torquing. Apply fastener with a calibrated torque driver or nut driver and do not exceed the appropriate seating torque for Grade 2 steel in the given material. Avoid installing in live electrical enclosures without de-energizing the circuit per applicable NEC requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.011 pounds per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HTCIF-1001500US-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696113713458,"sku":"HTCIF-1001500US-100BX","price":3837.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ca46762c6eadfcbc129921586da8d271.jpg?v=1788340112","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-htcif-1001500us-100bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
