Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener is designed to cut its own mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes. The Type F point — a blunt, tapered tip with chip-clearance flutes — makes it suited for threading into metal, hard plastics, and similar materials. It is driven with a hex driver or wrench. Electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general trade installers commonly use this style of fastener for panel mounting, bracket attachment, and enclosure assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used in light-gauge metal fabrication and assembly applications common to HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade work. The 5\/16-18 UNC thread form is a standard coarse-thread designation, making this fastener widely applicable for securing components to steel brackets, junction boxes, sheet metal frames, and similar substrates where a tapped hole is not practical. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads on installation, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard fastener tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch length under head suits thin to moderate material stack-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light to medium duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head accepts standard hex socket or wrench drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 5\/16-18 UNC Type F thread cutting screw suitable for light-gauge metal and hard-material fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified trade personnel familiar with fastener torque practices for the base material. Ensure the correct pilot hole diameter for the material type and thickness before driving. Do not overtighten, as thread cutting screws in thin metal can strip the formed threads. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before working inside panels or enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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 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\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 (Minimum Order Quantity: 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: HWTCIF03101000US-050B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690241196338,"sku":"HWTCIF03101000US-050B","price":39.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_727c43ae-d21c-4dfe-a572-0e7eb7da190c.jpg?v=1788267522","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-hwtcif03101000us-050b-hex-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
