Value Collection SFTCIF0-600500-100BX 6-32 Unc Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SFTCIF0-600500-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating its own mating thread in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, sheet stock, and similar materials. Each screw features a flat head profile, slotted drive, and a Type F point with cutting flutes that tap threads as the fastener is driven. The body is Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Overall length is 1/2 inch. This box contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for production assembly, panel fabrication, or service work.

These thread cutting screws are used across a wide range of light fabrication and assembly applications, including HVAC sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment housings. The flat head design sits flush with the mating surface when fully seated, which is important in applications where clearance is limited or a smooth finished surface is required. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bits, which are common in field service kits.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with Type F cutting point for self-threading into pre-drilled holes
• Flat head profile sits flush with surface for low-clearance installations
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade bits
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Box of 100 screws for shop stock, service vans, or production assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin ferrous sheet metal, light-gauge steel panels, and similar substrates commonly found in HVAC, electrical, and light equipment applications.

Installation Notes

These screws are installed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general fabricators. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before fastening or removing screws from electrical enclosures or HVAC panels. Use a correctly sized pilot hole to allow the Type F cutting flutes to form threads cleanly without stripping the base material. Do not overdrive slotted fasteners, as the drive recess is shallow relative to other drive types.
