The screw features a flat head profile with a slotted drive and a Type F point, which uses interrupted cutting edges to tap threads as the fastener is driven. Overall length is 1.5 inches. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty mechanical assembly applications. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers during panel, bracket, and housing assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread cutting screw is suited for light-gauge metal fabrication and assembly tasks where a self-threading fastener eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole. Typical applications include securing sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet components, and equipment housings. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk, making it appropriate for assemblies where a low-profile fastener head is required. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads into pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation in sheet metal and rigid substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power driver bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for light-duty mechanical assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard, compatible with common hardware and tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or service fastener for light-gauge metal assemblies requiring a 1\/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw with a flat head, slotted drive, and Type F point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate slotted power driver bit rated for the fastener size. Ensure the pre-drilled or punched pilot hole diameter is sized correctly for a 1\/4-20 Type F thread cutting screw per standard fastener reference charts. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the newly cut threads in thin-gauge material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted\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\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: MSCI02501500-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717515378994,"sku":"MSCI02501500-100BX","price":1237.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d2e321fa47c97318cea8e9bf226a6de2.jpg?v=1788541859","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msci02501500-100bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
