Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a flat head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point. At 3 inches in overall length, it is suited for through-fastening applications where flush seating is required. Tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on metal fabrication, HVAC equipment panels, enclosures, and light structural assemblies will find this fastener a dependable standard-duty option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread cutting screw is appropriate for use in light-gauge metal, sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, equipment housing, and general mechanical fabrication. The Type F point style cuts a clean thread path on entry, making it compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous substrates of moderate hardness. It is a common choice for field service technicians, electricians, and HVAC installers fastening panels, brackets, and cover plates where a countersunk flat head is needed for a flush finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread size for wide compatibility with standard hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inches overall length for through-fastening in thicker material stacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads on installation, no pre-tapped hole required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head profile seats flush with the workpiece surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhillips drive for use with standard bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction for general-duty indoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-duty thread cutting fastener for use in light-gauge metal, sheet metal enclosures, and similar substrates where 1\/4-20 UNC thread cutting screws with a flat head and Type F point are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive or over-torquing the fastener. Pre-drill the substrate to the correct minor diameter for 1\/4-20 thread cutting screws before driving. Ensure the mating material is of sufficient thickness and hardness to hold the cut thread reliably. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures per applicable NEC guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PFTCIF02503000-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720594915634,"sku":"PFTCIF02503000-100BX","price":1339.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d09b547a3a2b4291b45d535386eae3c1.jpg?v=1788566645","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pftcif02503000-100bx-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
