Value Collection PPTCIF-1000370-100BX 10-24 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF-1000370-100BX is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw engineered for fast, reliable fastening in metal, plastic, and composite materials. It features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F cutting point that taps its own mating thread on installation. The fastener is made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light-duty applications. The 0.375-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance assemblies where a compact, low-profile fastener is required. This box contains 100 screws, making it suitable for production runs, service kits, and shop-stock replenishment.

This screw is used across light commercial and industrial assembly work, including sheet-metal enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and general mechanical assemblies. The Type F point is designed to cut a clean thread in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal and hard plastics, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with standard ferrous sheet metal will find this fastener appropriate for routine panel and bracket attachment tasks.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped hardware
• Type F cutting point taps its own thread in pre-drilled metal and hard plastic
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile seating
• Phillips drive for fast installation with standard power or hand tools
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for light corrosion resistance
• Box of 100 screws supports production and service stock applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard thread cutting fastener for use in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin ferrous sheet metal, hard plastics, and composite panels requiring a 10-24 UNC thread form.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, electricians, or HVAC technicians using a Phillips-head screwdriver or a powered driver set to an appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the formed thread. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 10-24 Type F thread cutting screw before driving. Do not overdrive into thin or soft substrates, as the self-cutting action requires proper hole preparation to seat correctly. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
