Value Collection R52000895 8-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000895 is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal and similar materials. It features a flat head profile with a No. 2 Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation. Overall length is 0.75 inches. The screw is manufactured from AISI 1016-1024 steel and finished with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. It is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general tradespeople wherever a machine-thread fastener is needed without a pre-tapped hole.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet panels, junction boxes, and similar assemblies where a clean threaded connection is required. The flat head sits flush with or slightly below the material surface, making it appropriate in applications where a low-profile finish is necessary. The Type F point design conforms to ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency across production runs. Sold individually as a single unit; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form cuts its own mating thread — no pre-tapping required
• Flat head profile seats flush for low-profile installations
• No. 2 Phillips drive is compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Type F point for controlled thread-cutting in metal substrates
• Zinc-plated AISI 1016-1024 steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for light-gauge metal panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC cabinet assemblies requiring an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw with a flat head and No. 2 Phillips drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, or sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver. The receiving material should be pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole diameter for an 8-32 thread cutting screw before installation. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before fastening into live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as the parent material may strip when working with thin-gauge sheet metal.
