Value Collection PFTCIF-1000500-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF-1000500-100BX is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating its own mating thread in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, sheet metal brackets, and light structural members. The screw features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which uses a tapered end with cutting flutes to tap threads on installation. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor mechanical and electrical enclosure applications. This box contains 100 screws. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades reach for this fastener when assembling sheet metal components, panels, and equipment frames.

This thread cutting screw is suited for light-gauge metal fabrication and assembly tasks common in HVAC unit assembly, electrical panel work, and plumbing equipment mounting. The flat head sits flush with the work surface after driving, making it appropriate for applications where a low-profile finish is required. The Type F point engages cleanly in pre-drilled holes and eliminates the need for a separate tapping step, saving time during production or service work. Sold in a box of 100, this fastener is well-matched to production runs, service van stocking, or shop fabrication.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread pattern for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped and thread-cut holes in light metal
• Type F point cuts threads on installation, eliminating a separate tapping operation
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for a low-profile finish
• Phillips drive for fast installation with standard bits and power drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Box of 100 screws supports production use and van-stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in light-gauge steel panels, brackets, and sheet metal assemblies typical in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting screws of this type are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips bit in a hand driver or power drill. Always pre-drill or punch a correctly sized pilot hole in the base material before driving to avoid splitting or distorting thin metal. De-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment panel before fastening hardware in proximity to live components. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical code requirements for fastener use in listed equipment assemblies.
