It features a hex head with a hex drive and a Type F point, which uses a blunt, tapered tip with cutting edges to form mating threads on first installation. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical assembly. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head. This box contains 100 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread cutting screws of this type are used in light to medium metal fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. The Type F point is suited for tapping into thin steel, aluminum, and similar ductile materials where a pre-tapped hole is not practical. A hex head drive allows for installation with a standard hex socket or wrench, making it practical for production assembly and field service applications. This fastener is well-suited for mechanical contractors, sheet metal workers, and electricians working with metal panel assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts mating threads on installation, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head with hex drive accepts standard sockets, nut drivers, or open-end wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general-purpose fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a box of 100 pieces to support production and service volume needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose thread cutting fastener for use in thin metal panels, brackets, and enclosures where a 1\/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw with a Type F point and hex head is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread cutting screws require a properly sized pilot hole in the mating material prior to installation — consult a standard drill size chart for the appropriate pilot hole diameter based on material type and thickness. Install using a hex socket, nut driver, or open-end wrench set to controlled torque to avoid stripping the newly formed threads. Do not apply excessive driving force after the screw is fully seated, as Grade 2 steel has limited torsional strength compared to higher-grade fasteners. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when using these fasteners in equipment assemblies subject to inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound (per box)\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: HTCIF02501000US-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689718153522,"sku":"HTCIF02501000US-100BX","price":8284.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0765643e2409902232ed1b3f30a3170.jpg?v=1788263411","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-htcif02501000us-100bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
