Value Collection R52000831 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000831 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in metal substrates. It features a pan head profile, a No. 2 Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread on installation. The screw is manufactured from 410 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance and the mechanical strength needed for demanding trade applications. With a 0.25 inch length under head, this screw is suited for thin-gauge sheet metal assembly work in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal fabrication.

This fastener is used in residential and commercial applications wherever a thread cutting screw is required in metal with a thickness appropriate for the 0.25 inch under-head length. Typical installation scenarios include securing sheet metal panels, brackets, and covers on HVAC units, electrical boxes, and other metal assemblies. The Type F point design displaces material to form threads, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many thin-metal applications. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size for standard coarse-thread metal fastening
• Type F point cuts its own thread in thin-gauge metal without a pre-tapped hole
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with common hand and power drivers
• 410 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or humid environments
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for applications requiring a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw with a pan head and Type F point in thin-gauge metal panels or enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or a power driver set to a controlled torque setting to avoid stripping the formed thread. Ensure the base material thickness is appropriate for the 0.25 inch under-head length before driving. Power down all equipment and de-energize electrical panels before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Do not overtighten, as thread cutting screws in thin metal can strip the formed thread if excessive torque is applied.
