Value Collection PPTCFIF-1000370-100BX 10-32 Unf Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCFIF-1000370-100BX is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastic, and composite materials. The pan head profile sits flush against the work surface and distributes clamping load evenly across a wide bearing area. A Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 Phillips bits for hand or power installation. The Type F point features a tapered cutting edge that forms mating threads on the first engagement, eliminating the need for a tapped hole in many sheet metal and light structural applications. Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general-purpose fastening, and the zinc plating adds corrosion resistance in indoor and mildly humid environments. Each box contains 100 screws and weighs approximately 1 pound.

These screws are commonly used in HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, light sheet metal work, and equipment panel installation. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is a standard fine-thread specification widely used in control panel construction, junction box covers, and equipment mounting brackets where vibration resistance is important. Maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals who assemble or service metal equipment enclosures will find this fastener suitable for repeat-service applications where a clean, re-enterable thread is required.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for vibration-resistant fastening in metal assemblies
• Type F cutting point forms threads on installation without a pre-tapped hole
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface and low-profile appearance
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bits and power drivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Sold in a box of 100 for job-site and shop stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 10-32 UNF thread cutting fastener suitable for light gauge steel, aluminum, and plastic panels typical of HVAC cabinets, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or sheet metal fabricator typically installs these screws during enclosure assembly or equipment service. Power down all electrical equipment and de-energize enclosures before driving fasteners into live panels. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit and set the clutch on a power driver to avoid stripping the head or overdriving into thin material. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is appropriate for the material thickness to allow the Type F point to cut a clean thread.
