Value Collection PPTCIF-1000620-100BX 10-24 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF-1000620-100BX is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for use in metal fabrication, mechanical assembly, and light industrial applications. It features a pan head profile with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread as it is driven into pre-drilled pilot holes in sheet metal, thin steel plate, or similar substrates. The fastener is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor service environments. Usable length under head is 0.625 inches. Each box contains 100 screws.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a self-threading fastener is needed to engage metal panels, brackets, or enclosures without a pre-tapped hole. Common applications include HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal work. The 10-24 UNC thread form and Type F point make this fastener appropriate for driving into materials such as low-carbon steel and aluminum sheet of appropriate gauge. The Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard power tools or manual screwdrivers.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts mating threads into pre-drilled pilot holes — no tap required
• 10-24 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series clearance and pilot hole sizing
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips bits for manual or powered installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-duty mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose thread cutting fastener for light-gauge metal assemblies requiring a 10-24 UNC pan head Phillips screw with a Type F point.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians during equipment assembly or enclosure work. Always drill an appropriately sized pilot hole for the material thickness and gauge before driving a thread cutting screw to avoid splitting, stripping, or fastener failure. Use a Phillips bit matched to the screw head size and set driver clutch torque appropriately to avoid cam-out or overtightening. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NFPA 70 or OSHA lockout-tagout procedures before fastening work inside live enclosures.
