Value Collection HTCIF0-800370US-100BX 8-32 Thread Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HTCIF0-800370US-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in metal and similar substrates. It features a hex head with a hex drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread as it is driven into pre-drilled or punched holes. The screw body is Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general service environments. The under-head length measures 3/8 inches. This package contains 100 pieces and is sold as a single package quantity, making it well suited for trade and maintenance stocking.

These thread cutting screws are used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosure fastening, sheet metal fabrication, and general mechanical assembly where a self-threading fastener is needed in a tapped or untapped metal hole. The Type F point style is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as plastics where thread cutting rather than thread forming is appropriate. The hex head configuration allows for socket or wrench driving in confined spaces or on production lines.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size for standard inch-series fastening applications
• Type F point cuts its own thread in pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped mating thread
• Hex head with hex drive for socket, nut driver, or wrench installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• Sold in a 100-piece pack to support stocking and batch work orders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinets, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies where a self-threading hex head screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, or HVAC service professionals using a nut driver, hex socket, or open-end wrench. Always ensure the host material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a Type F thread cutting screw before driving. De-energize and lock out any electrical enclosure or equipment before installing or removing fasteners. Do not overdrive, as stripping the cut thread will compromise clamp load and joint integrity.
