The hex head accepts a standard hex driver or wrench for reliable torque application. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty industrial environments. The Type F point features a tapered end with cutting flutes that form mating threads as the fastener is driven, making it well suited for sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal applications. The under-head length measures 1\/2 inch with a 1\/4-20 thread pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis screw is commonly used in residential and commercial trade work where a self-threading metal fastener is needed in thin-gauge steel panels, brackets, or enclosures. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers reach for Type F thread cutting screws when joining metal components that do not have pre-formed internal threads. The 1\/4-20 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tooling and hardware used across mechanical, electrical, and HVAC installations. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType F point with cutting flutes forms internal threads in pre-drilled or punched metal holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread size for broad tooling compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch under-head length for light-gauge metal fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head design accepts standard hex wrenches and nut drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general-duty applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/4-20 UNC Type F thread cutting screw suitable for use in light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assemblies where a self-threading fastener is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by trade professionals including HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a hex driver or wrench sized to the hex head. A correctly sized pilot hole must be drilled or punched in the receiving material prior to driving the screw to allow the Type F cutting flutes to form threads cleanly without splitting the workpiece. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before fastening into enclosures or panels. Do not overdrive — apply consistent torque until the head seats flush against the mating surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder-Head Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: HWTCIF02500500US-050B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721045180722,"sku":"HWTCIF02500500US-050B","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_1fe04ee9-07c4-4408-8f2b-8a841bc00089.jpg?v=1788572772","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-hwtcif02500500us-050b-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
