Value Collection PFTCIF02502000-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF02502000-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating its own mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal. The screw measures 2 inches in overall length and features a flat head with a Phillips drive recess. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it uses a Type F point, which is a blunt-end thread-cutting geometry suitable for threading into ferrous and non-ferrous metals. These fasteners are widely used in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications where a flush seating head is required.

This thread cutting screw is suited for light to medium metal fabrication and assembly tasks common in trade work. Typical applications include securing sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet components, and similar thin-gauge metal assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it appropriate where clearance above the fastened material is limited. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and semi-protected environments.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts clean threads into pre-drilled metal without a separate tap
• Flat head design seats flush for low-profile installations
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light to medium metal assembly
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor applications
• 1/4-20 UNC threading is a widely available, standardized fastener size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use thread cutting fastener for applications requiring a 1/4-20 UNC flat head Phillips screw in ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or over-driving the flat head. A properly sized pilot hole should be drilled or punched in the receiving material prior to driving the screw. Ensure the workpiece is secured and de-energized where electrical components are involved before fastening. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical codes when installing fasteners in electrical or HVAC enclosures.
