Value Collection R52000858 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000858 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for reliable fastening in metal and other hard materials. It features a flat head with a dual-drive design accepting both a slotted and Phillips No. 2 driver, giving installers flexibility in the field. The Type F point is a thread-cutting configuration that self-taps into pre-drilled holes in sheet metal, light steel, and similar substrates without requiring a pre-tapped thread. Manufactured from 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor service environments. Overall length is 0.75 inches and the thread standard is UNC.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assembly, electrical enclosure work, HVAC cabinet fabrication, junction box installation, and similar trade applications where a small-diameter machine-thread cutting fastener is required. The flat head sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it appropriate where clearance is tight or a clean finish is needed. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this screw is a practical bench-stock item for service vans and shop use.

• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in light-gauge sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment panels where a flat-head Type F screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips or slotted screwdriver or bit. A correctly sized pilot hole should be drilled in the mating material before driving to ensure proper thread engagement and avoid material distortion. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening inside live enclosures, per NEC requirements. Do not overdrive — flat head screws can crack thin sheet metal if torque is excessive.
