It features a hex head for wrench-driven installation and a Type F point, which uses cutting flutes to form threads on contact. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in general-duty environments. The 3\/4-inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications. Installers in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light fabrication regularly use thread cutting screws like this when tapping a hole separately is not practical or efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light- to medium-duty assembly and service work across residential and commercial trades. Common applications include securing sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet components, and mechanical brackets. The Type F point is specifically designed for use in thin to medium-thickness ferrous and non-ferrous metals where thread formation during installation is required. The hex drive allows use with standard sockets, wrenches, or hex-bit drivers. This SKU ships in a box quantity of 100, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread size for standard unified coarse thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F cutting point forms threads in pre-drilled holes without a separate tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head compatible with standard sockets, box wrenches, and hex-bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction for general-duty fastening strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in indoor and light-outdoor service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch length under head suits moderate panel and bracket depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style thread cutting fastener for use in metal panels, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies requiring 3\/8-16 UNC thread engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread cutting screws must be installed into a correctly sized pre-drilled or punched pilot hole — using an undersized hole can strip the screw or crack the base material. Power down or de-energize any panel or enclosure before fastener installation near live electrical components. A torque-limiting driver or socket wrench is recommended to avoid over-driving and deforming the base material. Follow applicable NEC or manufacturer enclosure specifications when fastening electrical panels or HVAC cabinet assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 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\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 per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\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: HTCIF03700750US-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721489187122,"sku":"HTCIF03700750US-100BX","price":2049.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b13e0998cfe72f37989e49b2f91bebd.jpg?v=1788578012","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-htcif03700750us-100bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
