Value Collection R52001027 Hex Thread Cutting Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001027 is a hex head thread cutting screw engineered for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, sheet steel, and similar hard materials. It features a 1/4-20 UNC thread size and a 3/8-inch length under the head. The Type F point includes a blunt end with interrupted threads that cut a mating thread on installation, eliminating the need for a tapped hole in many applications. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty service environments. This screw is made from 1016-1024 carbon steel and conforms to ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards.

This fastener is suited for light structural and mechanical assembly work where a reliable threaded connection is needed in ferrous or hard materials. Common applications include sheet metal fabrication, equipment panels, HVAC ductwork frames, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications. The hex head allows drive with a standard hex socket or nut driver, making installation fast in production or field service settings. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread size for standard inch-series fastener compatibility
• 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening applications
• Type F thread cutting point eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole

• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex thread cutting screw suitable for ferrous sheet metal and hard material assemblies requiring a Type F point fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical contractors, sheet metal workers, or electricians during equipment assembly or panel work. Use a hex socket or nut driver sized to the hex head to avoid rounding. Ensure the receiving material thickness and hole diameter are appropriate for the 1/4-20 thread form before driving. Follow applicable NEC or SMACNA guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or ductwork components.
