Value Collection R52000946 Thread Cutting Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000946 is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw with a 1-1/4 inch length under head, designed for fastening into pre-drilled holes in metal, sheet metal assemblies, and similar applications. It features a pan head profile, a No. 2 Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts threads as it is driven. The screw is manufactured from AISI 1016 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments. This fastener is suitable for assembly work performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals working with sheet metal panels, equipment enclosures, and hardware brackets.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge metal fastening applications where a thread cutting fastener eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole. Typical install scenarios include securing HVAC duct panels, electrical enclosure covers, equipment access doors, and similar metal-to-metal or metal-to-sheet assemblies. The pan head provides a broad bearing surface suitable for through-hole and countersunk applications in thin materials. Sold in quantities of 100 per order.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for standard coarse-thread metal fastening
• Type F point cuts threads on installation, eliminating pre-tapping
• No. 2 Phillips drive for use with common hand and power tools
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface on thin sheet metal
• Zinc-plated AISI 1016 steel construction for corrosion resistance in dry environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal panels and enclosures where a Type F point thread cutting screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the receiving material is properly supported and that a correctly sized pilot hole is present for the thread cutting action. De-energize any electrical equipment or shut down HVAC systems before accessing panels or enclosures secured by these fasteners. Do not overtorque, as AISI 1016 steel fasteners in light-gauge sheet metal can strip the cut threads if excessive force is applied.
