Value Collection R52001037 Thread Cutting Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001037 is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening applications where a mating thread is cut directly into the base material during installation. This flat head fastener features a No. 3 Phillips drive and a Type F point, which is engineered to cut clean threads in materials such as sheet metal, plastics, and thin-gauge steel. Manufactured from AISI 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, it measures 5/8 inch in overall length. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals use these screws for panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and structural brackets.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade applications. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface after installation, making it appropriate for assemblies where a low-profile finish is required. The Type F point eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole in compatible materials, saving installation time in production or field-service environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified trade professionals using a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive or over-driving the flat head. The work material should be secured before driving to prevent movement. Verify base material thickness is compatible with a 5/8-inch fastener to ensure adequate thread engagement.
