Built to Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this hex head fastener features a Type F point for reliable thread cutting action in ferrous and light structural applications. The 3\/4-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening tasks where clean, self-threading engagement is required. Sold in a box of 100 units, this screw is a practical choice for production assembly, HVAC equipment installation, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread cutting screw is well-suited for light to medium-duty fastening in sheet metal, thin steel sections, and pre-drilled structural components. Common applications include securing panels, brackets, and housings in HVAC equipment, electrical cabinets, and plumbing support assemblies. The hex head drive allows for fast installation with a standard hex wrench or nut driver, making it efficient for repetitive assembly tasks in both shop and field environments. The zinc plating provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts clean mating threads in pre-drilled holes without pre-tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and nut drivers for fast installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for light to medium fastening loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish delivers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBox of 100 units supports production assembly and stocking needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 5\/16-18 UNC Type F thread cutting screw for use in pre-drilled holes in ferrous sheet metal and thin steel structural components typical of HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers during equipment assembly or bracket installation. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter as specified for 5\/16-18 UNC thread cutting screws before driving. Use a calibrated torque driver or hex nut driver and avoid overtorquing, which can strip the formed threads in thin material. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening panels or covers on live electrical or mechanical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: HTCIF03100750US-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704076861746,"sku":"HTCIF03100750US-100BX","price":11041.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1ead61a4563edd2aabaab2cbe2c1c1fd.jpg?v=1788420411","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-htcif03100750us-100bx-5-16-18-unc-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
