Value Collection PPTCIF-1001000-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF-1001000-100BX is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for use in light fabrication, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general trade assembly work. The screw features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread into pre-drilled pilot holes in sheet metal and light-gauge materials. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. Each box contains 100 screws and weighs 1 pound.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a self-threading fastener is needed to secure panels, brackets, junction boxes, or equipment covers. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use Type F thread cutting screws during equipment installation and service. The 1-inch length under head makes it appropriate for thin to medium material stacks where a machine-thread hold is needed without a pre-tapped hole.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• Type F point cuts mating threads into pilot holes in sheet metal and light-gauge materials
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing-surface seat
• Phillips drive for use with standard hand and power drivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction for general-duty corrosion resistance
• Sold in a box of 100 for job-site and shop stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for use in sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and similar light-gauge assemblies requiring a self-threading fastener.

Installation Notes

A correctly sized pilot hole must be drilled before driving a Type F thread cutting screw — refer to a standard tap drill chart for the appropriate pilot diameter for 10-24 UNC threads. Power down or de-energize any electrical panel or HVAC equipment before fastener work begins. Use a Phillips-tip bit matched to the screw size to prevent cam-out and head damage. Installation should comply with applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer panel-access and fastener requirements.
