Value Collection PFTCIF02501000-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF02501000-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC Phillips flat head thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastic, or composite materials. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw measures 1 inch in overall length and features a Type F point for clean thread cutting on first installation. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface after seating. These screws are packaged in boxes of 100 units, making them suitable for repetitive assembly or service work where consistent fastener stock is needed.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet work, and general mechanical fastening applications. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard, allowing straightforward installation with a Phillips-head screwdriver or power driver. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-exposure environments. Trades that regularly encounter this fastener include HVAC technicians assembling or repairing equipment cabinets, electricians securing panel components, and general mechanical contractors handling metal fabrication tasks.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread size with Type F point for self-cutting installation into metal and similar substrates
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for light-duty fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor or sheltered environments
• Sold in a box of 100 units for high-volume or repeat-use service applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal, plastic, and composite assemblies where a flush flat head and Type F thread cutting point are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver or a compatible power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the thread. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 1/4-20 thread cutting application before driving the screw. Do not over-drive flat head screws, as this can crack the seating surface or strip the newly cut threads. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when using fasteners in code-governed assemblies such as electrical enclosures or HVAC equipment panels.
