Value Collection PPTCIF0-601000-100BX 6-32 Screw Box 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-601000-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for reliable fastening in light-gauge metal, sheet metal, and similar substrates. Featuring a pan head with a Phillips drive, the screw accepts standard Phillips bits for fast installation with a powered driver or hand screwdriver. The Type F point — a thread-cutting style with a tapered, fluted tip — creates its own mating thread on installation, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, the fastener resists light corrosion in indoor and sheltered environments. Each box contains 100 screws.

This screw is a common choice for HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, panel fabrication, and general sheet metal work where a machine-screw thread form is required but tapping is impractical. The 6-32 UNC thread size and 1-inch length under head suit thin to medium gauge metal panels and chassis. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers reach for Type F thread cutters when fastening covers, access panels, and bracketed components during both new installation and service work.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form for machine-screw compatibility in light-gauge metal
• Type F thread-cutting point eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes in many materials
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Sold in a box of 100 for bench stock and service van replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet assemblies, and similar sheet metal applications requiring a machine-screw thread form.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips bit driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and power down equipment before opening panels or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Confirm substrate gauge and material are appropriate for Type F thread cutting before driving; pre-drilling a clearance hole to the correct minor diameter is recommended for harder or thicker stock. Do not overtighten — pan head screws in thin metal are susceptible to thread strip-out if torque is excessive.
