Value Collection PFTCIF02501250-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF02501250-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, sheet steel, and similar materials. It features a flat head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point — a blunt, chip-clearing point that cuts clean threads without requiring a pre-tapped hole. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. Overall length is 1-1/4 inches. This box contains 100 screws.

These thread cutting screws are commonly used in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, light sheet metal fabrication, and general mechanical assembly where a self-threading fastener is needed in ferrous or non-ferrous sheet stock. The flat head sits flush with the mating surface, making it appropriate for assemblies where a low-profile or countersunk finish is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard #2 Phillips bits and drivers used across the trades.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads into pre-drilled or punched holes — no tapping required
• Flat head profile sits flush for countersunk or low-profile installations
• 1/4-20 UNC thread size, 1-1/4 inches overall length
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Phillips drive compatible with standard #2 bits and power drivers
• Box quantity of 100 screws per order unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal applications typical in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical assembly work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a standard #2 Phillips bit in a manual or power driver. A properly sized pilot hole should be drilled or punched in the workpiece prior to driving the screw to ensure clean thread formation and prevent material distortion. Do not overtorque — Type F point screws in thin sheet stock can strip the formed threads if driven past seating. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or SMACNA guidelines for fastener use in electrical and ductwork assemblies.
