Value Collection R52000942 Thread Cutting Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000942 is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, sheet stock, and similar materials. The screw features a pan head profile with a No. 2 Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation. The shank measures 0.75 inches in length under the head. The body is formed from 410 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and adequate hardness for thread forming in light gauge metal applications. This fastener is sold individually as a single-piece package unit with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This screw is suited for light-gauge metal assembly work across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications where a self-threading fastener is required. Common install scenarios include sheet metal enclosures, junction boxes, equipment panels, and ductwork components. The 10-24 UNC thread form and Type F point make it appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal where a pre-tapped hole is not available. Installers working in corrosive or outdoor-adjacent environments will benefit from the stainless steel construction over zinc-plated carbon alternatives.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form with Type F thread-cutting point for self-threading into sheet metal
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area
• No. 2 Phillips drive for standard screwdriver and bit compatibility
• 410 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or mildly corrosive environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• 0.75 inch length under head suits thin-stock and light-gauge panel fastening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies requiring a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw with a pan head and No. 2 Phillips drive.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal tradespeople working with panel enclosures and equipment housings. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC lockout/tagout procedures before fastening into live enclosures. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the thread form on first insertion, as Type F screws cut threads on the initial pass and re-entry into a stripped hole is not recoverable. Pre-drilling to the correct pilot diameter for 10-24 UNC is required when working in harder gauge materials.
