The pan head profile and No. 2 Phillips drive make it compatible with standard hand and power tools. At 5\/16 inches length under head, this screw is sized for light-gauge sheet metal and thin-stock assemblies common in HVAC, electrical enclosures, and mechanical equipment panels. The Type F point cuts threads directly into pre-drilled or punched holes, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. Constructed from AISI 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance for indoor mechanical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light commercial and residential trade applications where a self-threading fastener is needed in sheet metal, thin steel brackets, or equipment enclosures. HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors commonly use this style of screw when securing access panels, junction box covers, duct flanges, and control board mounting brackets. It is ordered and packaged in multiples of 100, making it practical for service vans and shop stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType F point cuts threads on installation, no pre-tapping required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePan head profile distributes clamping load across the work surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 2 Phillips drive works with standard screwdrivers and power bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish resists corrosion in indoor mechanical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI 1016-1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in multiples of 100 for efficient job-site and shop stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge steel panels, equipment enclosures, and mechanical assemblies where a Type F self-threading screw is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using a No. 2 Phillips bit and a calibrated torque screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the newly cut threads. Ensure the base material is properly drilled or punched to the recommended pilot hole diameter for 8-32 thread cutting screws before driving. Do not over-torque, as thread cutting screws in thin-gauge steel can strip the formed threads if driven beyond seating. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when securing panels on energized equipment, and de-energize circuits before opening enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pan Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 2 Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 1016-1024 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.00291 pounds (per unit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, SAE J933\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R52000877\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698374410546,"sku":"R52000877","price":533.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3f61c557ed8bb36efcf6a27a01c48286.jpg?v=1788361912","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r52000877-8-32-unc-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
