Value Collection PPTCIF0-800370-100BX 8-32 Unc Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-800370-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for controlled metal-to-metal fastening applications. Built to Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread as it is driven. The 3/8-inch length under head makes it well suited for thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies, junction boxes, enclosures, and similar light fabrication work. Sold in a box of 100 pieces, this fastener is a staple for electrical, HVAC, and plumbing contractors who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant thread cutter in standard UNC sizing.

This screw is commonly used in residential and commercial trade work wherever a self-threading fastener is needed in pre-drilled or punched steel panels, brackets, and enclosures. Electricians reach for 8-32 UNC hardware when securing device yokes, panel components, and enclosure covers. HVAC technicians use Type F thread cutting screws for sheet metal cabinet assembly and equipment mounting. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and protected outdoor installations.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts its own thread in pre-drilled steel without a tap
• 8-32 UNC thread standard for broad hardware compatibility
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Phillips drive for fast installation with standard bit sets
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Sold in a box of 100 for jobsite and shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin-gauge steel panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and light structural brackets requiring a self-threading screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver or drill driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the cut thread. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole diameter for 8-32 Type F screws per the fastener manufacturer guidance. Power down any electrical enclosure or equipment before fastening or removing hardware per NFPA 70 (NEC) safe work practices. Do not overtighten — pan head screws in thin-gauge steel are susceptible to thread pull-through if overdriven.
