Value Collection R52000986 10-32 Unf Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000986 is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled holes without the need for a tapped hole. This Type F point screw features a flat head with a No. 2 Phillips drive and a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Manufactured from AISI 1016-1024 steel, it measures 1 inch in overall length. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces and is a standard fastener used across light manufacturing, HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work.

This screw is suited for light-gauge metal applications where a clean thread form is required without pre-tapping. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface, making it appropriate for assemblies where a low-profile fastener is needed. Common applications include securing sheet metal panels, junction box covers, and equipment housing components. Licensed trades including electricians and HVAC technicians frequently use this fastener type during equipment installation and panel work.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread size with Type F thread cutting point for clean thread formation in metal
• Flat head, flush-mount profile for low-clearance panel assemblies
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits
• Zinc-plated AISI 1016-1024 steel construction for strength and basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• 1 inch overall length suits typical light-gauge sheet metal panel thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for light-gauge sheet metal and enclosure assemblies requiring a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw with a flat head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require a pre-tapped hole, but a correctly sized pilot hole is required for proper thread formation — refer to standard drill size charts for 10-32 UNF thread cutting screws. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the formed threads. De-energize all electrical panels and equipment before fastener work on live enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing electrical panel components.
