Value Collection PPTCFIF-1000620-100BX 10-32 Unf Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCFIF-1000620-100BX is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes without a separate tapping operation. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it features a pan head, Phillips drive, and a Type F point. The Type F point has interrupted cutting edges that displace material as the screw advances, making it well-suited for sheet metal, thin steel brackets, and light fabrication work. This screw ships in a box of 100 units. It is a standard fastener used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals for panel assembly and equipment mounting.

This screw is commonly used in light commercial and residential trade applications where a self-threading fastener is needed in steel or similar materials. Typical uses include securing electrical enclosure panels, HVAC cabinet components, junction box covers, and equipment brackets where threading the hole in advance is not practical. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-pitch unified national fine thread, which provides strong clamping force in thin stock. The 5/8-inch length under head suits standard sheet metal gauges and thin structural panels.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for strong engagement in thin steel stock
• Type F point cuts mating threads on installation, eliminating a separate tapping step
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and hand tools
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected applications
• Sold in a box of 100 for job-site and shop inventory use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for residential and light commercial trade applications requiring a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw with a pan head and Type F point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips bit driver or hand screwdriver; a power driver with adjustable clutch is recommended to avoid overdriving and stripping the thread. Ensure the receiving hole is sized correctly for a Type F thread cutting screw to allow proper thread formation without splitting the base material. De-energize all electrical equipment and shut off any associated systems before fastening panels or covers. Follow applicable NEC or local code requirements when securing electrical enclosures.
