The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface that resists pull-through. Drive type is Phillips, compatible with standard Phillips bits and drivers. The Type F point features cutting flutes that tap threads as the screw is driven, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in most light-gauge material applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Sold in a box of 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light-duty assembly and maintenance tasks encountered in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work. Common applications include securing sheet metal panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and light-gauge brackets where thread cutting capability simplifies installation. The 6-32 UNC thread and 3\/16-inch length under head make this screw appropriate for thin-stock material stacks where a longer fastener would bottom out or protrude. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers routinely use thread cutting screws like this for panel and enclosure work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC thread size for standard light-gauge fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and enclosure panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads on installation — no pre-tapping required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePan head with Phillips drive for use with common hand and power drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a box of 100 for job-site and shop inventory use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener for use in light-gauge steel, sheet metal panels, and similar thin-material assemblies typical in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the pan head. Ensure the receiving material is within the thread-engagement range appropriate for a 3\/16-inch fastener before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow lockout\/tagout procedures before fastening enclosure covers or panels. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving thread cutting screws into metal, as metal chips may be produced during thread formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0017 pounds (per piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PPTCIF0-600180-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699401621810,"sku":"PPTCIF0-600180-100BX","price":1611.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1523b5dfa23510fd024983a1e3eb34b0.jpg?v=1788375466","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pptcif0-600180-100bx-6-32-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
