Value Collection PFTCIF02501500-100BX 1/4-20 Screw Box 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF02501500-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastic, and other rigid materials. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven, and the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard power tools. A Type F point features a tapered end with cutting edges that remove material as the screw advances, eliminating the need for a tapped hole. These screws are manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in dry or mildly humid environments. Each screw measures 1-1/2 inches in overall length. This box contains 100 screws.

Thread cutting screws are commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure installation, and general trade applications where self-threading into metal or hard plastic is required. The 1/4-20 UNC thread designation indicates a coarse unified thread pattern suited for quick assembly in ferrous and non-ferrous base materials. These fasteners are a standard choice for trade professionals needing a reliable bulk quantity of flush-mount thread cutting screws for production or field service work.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads into pre-drilled holes without requiring a separate tapping operation
• Flat head design sits flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Phillips drive compatible with standard bit drivers and power tools
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for light-duty to medium-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Sold in a box of 100 for bulk trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in light-gauge metal, rigid plastic, and similar materials where thread forming or cutting is required during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips bit driver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive or over-driving the flat head. A correctly sized pilot hole must be drilled in the base material before driving the screw to ensure proper thread engagement. Verify base material thickness and hardness are appropriate for thread cutting screws before selecting this fastener. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or duct assemblies.
