Value Collection PPTCIF0-800500-100BX 8-32 Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-800500-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled holes without a tap. The pan head profile keeps a low, wide bearing surface flush to the workpiece. A Phillips drive and Type F point make this screw straightforward to install with standard tooling. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, these screws resist corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty applications. This 100-piece box suits maintenance, assembly, and production work across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications.

This screw is a standard 8-32 UNC fastener with a 0.5 inch length under head, making it suitable for light-gauge sheet metal, electrical panels, enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment housings. The Type F point cuts threads on entry, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in compatible materials. Trade professionals across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical work commonly use this style of thread cutting screw when securing panels or mounting components to thin-gauge steel or aluminum substrates.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style thread cutting screw suitable for light-gauge steel and aluminum panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings requiring an 8-32 UNC fastener with a 0.5 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the formed threads. Ensure the base material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for an 8-32 thread cutting screw before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before fastening panels or enclosure covers. Avoid over-driving, which can damage the zinc plating and reduce corrosion resistance.
