Value Collection R52000930 Thread Cutting Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000930 is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for forming threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal assemblies. Built from AISI 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical applications. The flat undercut head profile sits flush or slightly below the surface, making it well-suited for tight clearance applications. A No. 2 Phillips drive allows for quick installation with standard power or hand tools. The Type F point features a blunt, tapered end with cutting flutes that tap threads as the screw is driven, eliminating the need for a separate tapping step.

This screw is used in light to medium-duty metal fastening applications including sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and mechanical subassemblies where thread tapping during installation is required. At 0.375 inches overall length, it is suited for thin-gauge material stacking where a low-profile fastened joint is needed. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, this fastener is appropriate for service contractors, maintenance technicians, and assembly operations maintaining working stock of common hardware sizes.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form with Type F point cuts threads on installation — no pre-tapping required
• Flat undercut head sits flush or recessed for low-profile, tight-clearance joints
• AISI 1016-1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for general indoor and light outdoor environments
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and screwdrivers
• 0.375 inches overall length suited for thin-gauge metal panel fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC thread cutting replacement fastener for use in metal panels, enclosures, and equipment assemblies requiring a flat undercut head, Type F point screw in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips bit using a hand screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque range for the base material gauge. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is correct for the base material thickness and hardness — an undersized or oversized hole will affect thread engagement. Avoid overdriving, which can strip the freshly cut threads or crack thinner panels. Follow applicable assembly standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when replacing fasteners in rated enclosures or code-listed equipment.
