The screw features a hex washer head driven by a hex drive, a Type F point for thread cutting, and a zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction. The under-head length is 3\/4 inch. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered applications. This fastener is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals in metal-to-metal or sheet metal assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread cutting screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade environments. The Type F point is engineered to cut threads into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, making it a common choice for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and similar sheet metal or thin-material assemblies. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and resists pull-through in thinner materials. Minimum order quantity is 5 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts its own thread in pre-drilled metal holes, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and reduces pull-through risk in sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive accepts standard hex keys and hex bit drivers for fast installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction offers reliable strength for light to medium-duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for sheltered and indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series tooling and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose thread cutting screw for use in pre-drilled holes in metal panels, enclosures, ductwork, and similar assemblies where a 3\/8-16 UNC fastener with a 3\/4 inch under-head length is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by trade professionals using a hex bit driver or hex key sized to the fastener head. Ensure the base material hole is pre-drilled or punched to the correct diameter for a 3\/8-16 UNC thread cutting screw before driving. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower torque resistance than higher-grade fasteners and the cut threads in thin material can strip if over-driven. Wear appropriate PPE when working with sheet metal edges.\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\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: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Washer\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound (package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: HWTCIF03700750US-050BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694340538674,"sku":"HWTCIF03700750US-050BX","price":1435.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/da99a4fe953d3d7c8bea4e12b6f76318.jpg?v=1788323346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-hwtcif03700750us-050bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
