Value Collection PFTCIF0-600500-100BX 6-32 Thread Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF0-600500-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal and other hard materials. The flat head sits flush with the surface after installation, and the Phillips drive allows for quick engagement with a standard screwdriver or power tool. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor environments. At 1/2 inch overall length, it suits shallow panel work, bracket attachment, and general assembly tasks common in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical applications. Sold in a box of 100.

This screw is well suited for trade and industrial applications where a self-threading fastener is needed in pre-drilled or formed holes in thin sheet metal, plastic, or similar materials. The Type F point features a blunt tip with cutting edges that tap its own thread as it is driven, eliminating the need for a separate tapping step. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors commonly use this style of screw for securing panels, covers, and junction boxes.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-pitch applications
• Type F point cuts its own thread during installation, no pre-tapping required
• Flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface
• Phillips drive for use with common hand and power screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Boxed quantity of 100 for high-volume service and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thread cutting screw for use in thin sheet metal, formed plastic, and similar materials where 6-32 UNC fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

This screw is typically installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors using a Phillips-head screwdriver or a power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting. Power down and de-energize any electrical panels or enclosures before fastening covers or access plates. Avoid overdriving, as Grade 2 steel fasteners at this size can be susceptible to head stripping or shank failure if torque is excessive. Ensure the receiving material is within the appropriate thickness range for the 6-32 thread cutting profile.
