Value Collection R52000836 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000836 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, plastic, and similar materials. It features a flat undercut head with a No. 2 Phillips drive and a Type F point for efficient thread formation. Made from AISI 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 5/16 inches in overall length. It meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards. Maintenance technicians, electricians, and assembly workers commonly use this fastener in light-gauge sheet metal and equipment panel applications.

This screw is suited for use in light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar thin-material applications where thread cutting eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole. The flat undercut head sits flush or near-flush with the work surface, making it a practical choice in space-constrained installations. Sold in multiples of 100 units per order, this fastener is a standard production and service stock item for shops and field technicians.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with Type F point cuts threads directly into pre-drilled holes
• No. 2 Phillips flat undercut head for flush or near-flush seating
• AISI 1016-1024 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Compliant with ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• 5/16-inch overall length suited for thin-gauge material applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar assemblies requiring a flush-head fastener with thread-forming capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, or assembly personnel using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or power driver. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 6-32 Type F thread cutting screw before driving. Do not overtorque, as excessive force can strip the formed threads in thin or soft base materials. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant codes when installing fasteners in electrical or mechanical enclosures.
