Value Collection R52000945 10-24 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000945 is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled holes in metal and other hard materials. It features a flat head with a No. 2 Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation. The screw is manufactured from AISI 1016 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. At 1.25 inches overall length, it suits shallow to mid-depth fastening applications. This type of fastener is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals securing sheet metal panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures.

This thread cutting screw is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing access covers, and sheet metal assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven, making it appropriate for applications where a low-profile finish is required. The zinc plating provides adequate protection in dry indoor environments typical of mechanical room and equipment cabinet installations.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size with Type F thread cutting point for self-threading into pre-drilled holes
• Flat head profile for flush seating against the work surface
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand tools
• AISI 1016 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 1.25 inches overall length suits a range of panel and enclosure fastening depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for applications requiring a 10-24 UNC flat head thread cutting screw in metal panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment cabinets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed trade professionals or qualified technicians using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or power driver. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing panels or enclosures. A correct pilot hole diameter for the material being fastened is required to allow the Type F point to cut threads cleanly without stripping. Do not overtighten, as thread cutting screws in thin metal can strip the newly formed threads.
