Value Collection R52001061 Thread Cutting Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001061 is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled holes in metal, sheet metal assemblies, and similar materials where a self-threading action is required. Featuring a pan head profile and a No. 3 Phillips drive, this screw uses a Type F point to cut clean mating threads on installation. The body is manufactured from AISI 1016-1024 steel and finished with zinc plating for corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty service environments. At 1.5 inches length under head, it suits a range of panel, bracket, and enclosure fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical assembly work.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a reliable threaded fastener is needed in metal substrates without the use of a nut. Common install scenarios include securing sheet metal panels, control board brackets, electrical enclosure components, and equipment housings. The 1/4-20 UNC thread size is a widely used standard pitch in trade equipment fastening. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 per package, this part is appropriate for service shops and technicians stocking fastener inventory for field and bench use.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting design creates mating threads directly in the workpiece
• Type F point geometry for clean thread cutting in metal substrates
• Pan head profile with No. 3 Phillips drive for high-torque installation
• AISI 1016-1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in standard service conditions
• 1.5 inches length under head suits panel and bracket fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in metal panel, bracket, and enclosure applications where a Type F point thread cutting screw of this size and head style is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and that the correct pilot hole diameter for a 1/4-20 thread cutting screw is used per the applicable fastener standard. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening into live assemblies. Do not overtighten, as thread cutting screws in metal substrates can strip if torque is not controlled.
