Value Collection HTCIF0-800500US-100BX 8-32 Unc Hex Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HTCIF0-800500US-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal assemblies. It features a hex head with a hex drive, a Type F point for self-threading into existing threads or thin metal, and a zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction that provides corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty environments. The under-head length measures 0.5 inches. This fastener is sold in a box of 100 pieces, making it suitable for production-level work, service calls, or shop stock. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this screw type when securing panels, brackets, and enclosures.

This screw is used in light commercial and residential applications where a reliable, self-threading fastener is needed in thin steel panels, junction boxes, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and similar metal fabrications. The Type F point cuts a mating thread on entry, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many applications. The hex drive allows installation with a nut driver, socket, or hex bit, which is standard tooling in panel and equipment work.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size for standard coarse-thread fastening in metal
• Type F point cuts threads on entry, no pre-tapping required in many applications
• Hex head with hex drive for nut driver or socket installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Box quantity of 100 pieces supports production use and service van stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin steel panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and similar light metal assemblies where a Type F point thread cutting screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Install with a hex bit driver, nut driver, or socket set sized for the hex head. Ensure the workpiece material and thickness are appropriate for a Type F thread cutting point before driving. Power down any electrical equipment fully before fastening into or near live panels or enclosures. Do not overtorque, as Grade 2 steel has lower yield strength than higher-grade fasteners and the threaded material may be thin.
