Value Collection PFTCIF02502500-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PFTCIF02502500-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, creating its own mating thread on installation. It measures 2.5 inches in overall length and features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive. The Type F point is a standard chip-cutting design suited for threading into ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal, castings, and structural components. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw is a common fastener used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals for panel assembly and equipment fabrication.

This screw is appropriate for light to medium-duty fastening applications in trade and industrial settings. The 1/4-20 UNC thread form is a widely used coarse-thread standard in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and sheet metal assemblies. The flat head sits flush with or below the mating surface when fully driven, making it suitable for applications where a low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and drivers common to every trade tool kit.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts its own thread on installation — no tap required in most applications
• Flat head design sits flush to the mating surface for low-profile installations
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bits and power drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in light to medium-duty use
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread is a standard size across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for use in sheet metal, light structural assemblies, and equipment panels common to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade professionals using a No. 2 Phillips bit with a power driver or manual screwdriver. Ensure the receiving material has been pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 1/4-20 thread cutting application before driving the screw. Do not overdrive — flat head thread cutting screws can strip the formed thread if excessive torque is applied. Follow applicable mechanical fastening requirements per the relevant equipment manufacturer guidelines or applicable codes.
