Value Collection HWTCIF02500750US-050B Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HWTCIF02500750US-050B is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes without requiring a tapped thread. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty industrial applications. The hex head accepts a standard hex wrench or socket driver for consistent torque application. The Type F point features a tapered end with cutting flutes that displace or cut material as the fastener is driven, producing a secure thread form on first installation.

This screw is commonly used in light structural assembly, sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general mechanical assembly where a self-threading fastener is required. The 3/4 inch under-head length suits thin to medium material stacks. Sold in quantities of 50 per order, this fastener is a standard stocking item for maintenance, repair, and production environments where consistent thread engagement and reusability of the mating thread are required.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts clean threads in pre-drilled holes without a tap
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in dry and lightly humid environments
• Hex head drive allows use with standard hex sockets or wrenches for controlled installation
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with common clearance hole patterns
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces supports production and MRO restocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in steel, aluminum, and similar materials requiring a self-threading hex head screw with a Type F point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson or mechanical assembler familiar with fastener torque requirements for Grade 2 steel hardware. Ensure the pre-drilled or punched hole diameter is correctly sized per UNC thread cutting screw specifications before driving to avoid cross-threading or fastener failure. Use a calibrated torque wrench or driver to prevent overdriving, which can strip the cut thread. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing fastener locations on live assemblies.
