Value Collection R52000845 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000845 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure fastening in metal and hard materials. It features a pan head profile with a No. 2 Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation without requiring a pre-tapped hole. Made from 410 stainless steel, this fastener offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The under-head length measures 0.5 inches. This screw is used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers when fastening components where thread engagement into unthreaded material is required.

This fastener is well suited for light-gauge sheet metal enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar trade applications where a self-threading fastener is needed. The 6-32 UNC thread size is a common standard in trade equipment assemblies. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load without requiring a countersunk hole. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads directly into base material, eliminating pre-tapping
• 410 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• No. 2 Phillips drive for compatibility with standard trade drivers and power tools
• Pan head profile provides broad clamping surface without countersinking
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• Under-head length of 0.5 inches suits light-gauge sheet metal and enclosure panels

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in light-gauge metal panels, equipment enclosures, and similar assemblies where a self-threading pan head screw is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or power driver using a No. 2 Phillips bit. A pilot hole sized appropriately for the material gauge and thread type should be drilled before driving the screw to prevent material distortion. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live panels or assemblies. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the cut threads or fracture the fastener shank in thin material.
