It features a hex head with a hex drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation. The fastener is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. At 1-1\/4 inches in length under the head, it suits light to medium structural and assembly fastening applications. This box contains 100 screws, making it appropriate for contractors and trade professionals who need job-site quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for sheet metal fabrication, HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, and general mechanical assembly where a self-threading fastener is required in a drilled or punched pilot hole. The hex head allows installation with a standard hex socket or wrench, making it compatible with common power and hand tools used on commercial and residential job sites. It is a staple fastener for HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians assembling panel enclosures and equipment cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads into pre-drilled holes without a tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread form for broad tool and hardware compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head accepts standard hex sockets and wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light to medium duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a box of 100 for job-site and shop use\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 suitable for use in pre-drilled or punched pilot holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials where a self-threading hex head fastener is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a hex socket driver or open-end wrench sized for a 5\/16-18 hex head fastener. Ensure the pilot hole diameter matches the thread cutting screw specification for the material being fastened to avoid stripping the newly formed threads. Do not overtorque — thread cutting screws in thin-gauge material can strip if driven past seating. Always power down and de-energize equipment before fastening into or around electrical enclosures or live panels.\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: 1-1\/4 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\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: 0.032 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: HTCIF03101250US-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690709516594,"sku":"HTCIF03101250US-100BX","price":5333.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/afc0987e5c38212a158315f2003e16b9.jpg?v=1788274313","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-htcif03101250us-100bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
