Value Collection PPTCIF02501000-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF02501000-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or pilot-drilled holes in metal, plastics, and similar materials. It features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread on installation. The shank measures 1 inch in length under the head. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists light corrosion and is suited for general mechanical assembly tasks in HVAC, electrical enclosure, and light sheet-metal applications.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial trade work where a self-threading fastener is needed in thin metal or rigid plastic substrates. The Type F point is commonly used when threading into pre-punched sheet metal panels, junction boxes, equipment housings, and similar assemblies. The pan head profile sits flush to low-profile against the work surface without requiring a countersink. This box contains 100 screws, making it practical for service vans and shop stock where consistent fastener supply is necessary.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread specification for broad compatibility with standard tapped assemblies
• Type F point cuts its own thread, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many applications
• Pan head profile with Phillips drive for fast installation with standard hand or power tools
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for general mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers light corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments
• Sold in a box of 100 units for shop stock and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thread cutting fastener compatible with standard 1/4-20 UNC pilot hole applications in sheet metal, rigid plastics, and similar substrates typical of HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver or a power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the pan head recess. Confirm the pilot hole diameter matches the recommended size for 1/4-20 Type F thread cutting screws before driving. Wear appropriate eye protection when working with power fastening tools in metal enclosures. Follow applicable codes including NEC or local mechanical codes when fastening electrical or HVAC equipment panels.
