Value Collection PPTCIF02500500-100BX 1/4-20 Unc Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF02500500-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in metal and other rigid materials. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows for efficient installation with standard hand or power tools. The Type F point features a tapered thread-cutting tip that forms mating threads as the screw is driven, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, the screw offers baseline corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. This box contains 100 screws with a length under head of 1/2 inch.

This screw is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical assembly applications where a self-threading fastener is needed in sheet metal brackets, junction box tabs, equipment enclosures, or light structural components. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread standard in North American trade work. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Technicians and installers in residential and light commercial settings commonly stock this fastener for field repairs and equipment mounting tasks.

• Sold in a box of 100 for consistent field stock and bulk use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for use in sheet metal, equipment enclosures, electrical panels, and mechanical assemblies requiring a Type F point self-threading fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Number 2 Phillips bit using a hand driver or power tool set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the pan head recess. Ensure the material thickness is appropriate for the 1/2-inch under-head length to achieve full thread engagement. In electrical enclosure or HVAC equipment applications, de-energize all circuits before fastening per applicable NEC or local electrical codes. Zinc-plated fasteners are not rated for outdoor or high-humidity environments and should not be substituted for stainless or coated hardware in corrosive installations.
