Value Collection R52000857 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000857 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal and similar hard materials. Built from 410 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suited to demanding service environments. It features a pan head profile, a No. 2 Phillips drive, and a Type F point geometry that cuts threads on insertion without requiring a tapped hole. The under-head length is 0.75 inches. This screw is manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency across the production run. Installation requires a No. 2 Phillips bit and is typically completed by hand tool or power driver.

This screw is well suited for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosure fabrication, HVAC equipment panels, and general trade applications where a self-threading fastener in a corrosion-resistant material is required. The 6-32 UNC thread size is a common standard in control panel construction, low-voltage enclosures, and instrument mounting. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load across a broad surface area, making it a reliable choice for thin-stock applications. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Key Features

• Type F thread cutting point forms mating threads on installation — no tapping required
• 410 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface on thin sheet stock
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with standard bits and power drivers
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• 6-32 UNC thread size commonly used in electrical and HVAC panel construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in light-gauge metal panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment assemblies where a Type F point and pan head configuration are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips bit using a hand driver or variable-speed power driver. Ensure the base material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 6-32 thread cutting application before driving. Do not overdrive — pan head fasteners in thin-gauge material are susceptible to head pull-through if torque is not controlled. Power down any electrical enclosure before fastener work begins in live panel environments.
