Value Collection PPTCIF0-801500-100BX 8-32 Unc Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-801500-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in metal and hard substrates. It features a pan head profile with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which has a blunt, tapered tip with cutting edges that form mating threads as the screw is driven. The body is Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in light-duty applications. Each unit measures 1.5 inches in length under the head. This box contains 100 screws. These fasteners are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers during equipment assembly and panel fastening.

Thread cutting screws of this type are used in residential and light commercial applications where pre-tapped holes are not practical. Common install scenarios include securing control panels, electrical enclosures, sheet metal ductwork components, junction box covers, and equipment access panels. The 8-32 UNC thread size is a standard coarse-pitch machine screw thread widely used across HVAC equipment, electrical panels, and plumbing fixture assemblies. The Phillips pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for thin-gauge metal.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads directly into the workpiece, eliminating the need for pre-tapping
• Pan head profile with Phillips drive for use with standard #2 Phillips screwdrivers or bits
• 8-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with trade equipment fastening applications
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for light-duty sheet metal and panel work
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments
• Box quantity of 100 units supports production assembly and service call stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for thin-gauge steel panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment sheet metal where a Type F thread cutting point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using a #2 Phillips screwdriver or power driver with appropriate torque control to avoid stripping the formed threads. De-energize all electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before fastening or removing panel hardware. Pilot hole sizing should match the screw manufacturer recommendations for the specific material gauge and hardness. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical codes when fastening electrical enclosure covers or equipment panels.
