Value Collection PPTCIF0-800620-100BX 8-32 Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-800620-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening into pre-drilled or tapped holes in metal and similar materials. It features a pan head profile with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation, eliminating the need for a separate tap in many light-gauge applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers baseline corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor mechanical and electrical assembly work. Each box contains 100 screws. The under-head length is 5/8 inches.

This fastener is appropriate for light commercial and residential applications where a self-threading screw is needed in sheet metal, light-gauge steel brackets, electrical enclosures, HVAC ductwork components, or similar assemblies. The Phillips pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface and is compatible with standard Phillips bits, making it a practical choice for production assembly, field repair, and maintenance work. The zinc plating provides adequate protection in dry interior environments. Sold in boxes of 100, this SKU is suited for technicians and tradespeople who need a reliable supply of a common fastener size on hand.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts mating threads on installation, reducing prep steps in light-gauge materials
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard Phillips No. 2 bits and screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in dry interior environments
• Sold in boxes of 100 for consistent jobsite or shop supply

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and HVAC components requiring a self-threading pan head screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or general mechanical tradespeople using a Phillips No. 2 driver bit or hand screwdriver. Ensure the receiving material is appropriate for thread-cutting fasteners and that a correct pilot hole size is used per standard thread-cutting screw guidelines for the material thickness. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening near live components. Do not overtorque, as Grade 2 steel has defined shear limits in thin-gauge applications.
