Value Collection PFTCIF0-800500-100BX 8-32 Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF0-800500-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or tapped holes in metal and other hard materials. The Type F point features cutting flutes that allow it to form mating threads on installation, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suited to general interior service conditions. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the material surface when fully driven, and the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard power tools. This screw ships in a box of 100 pieces.

This fastener is a standard trade-supply item used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and sheet metal applications wherever a reliable flush-mount screw is needed. The 8-32 UNC thread and 0.5-inch overall length make it appropriate for light-gauge metal panels, junction boxes, electrical enclosures, equipment covers, and similar thin-material assemblies. It is suitable for both shop fabrication and field service work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock fastener for applications requiring an 8-32 UNC flat head Phillips thread cutting screw with a 0.5-inch overall length in light-gauge metal or similar hard-material assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or a power driver set to a controlled torque clutch to avoid stripping the drive or over-driving the flat head. Ensure the substrate is within the appropriate material thickness range for the screw length before driving. Zinc-plated fasteners are intended for interior or dry-environment use and should not be substituted in corrosive or outdoor-exposure locations without selecting an appropriate finish. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when fastening enclosures or equipment panels.
