Value Collection SFTCIF0-800620-100BX 8-32 Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SFTCIF0-800620-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in sheet metal, plastics, and light-gauge materials. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven, keeping fastened assemblies low-profile and snag-free. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it compatible with basic hand tools and powered screwdrivers. The Type F point features machine-screw threads with a cutting edge at the tip, allowing the screw to tap its own mating thread as it advances. Overall length is 5/8 inch. Each box contains 100 screws.

This screw is suited for light industrial, HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general trade applications where a self-tapping fastener with a flush finish is required. The Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for moderate-load fastening in sheet metal brackets, control panel covers, and junction box components. The zinc plating delivers a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected outdoor installations. Tradespeople installing equipment panels, ductwork access doors, or electrical enclosures will find this a standard stocking fastener for daily production and service work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and plastic assemblies where a flush flat head and self-tapping Type F point are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver or powered driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the slotted drive or overdriving the flat head. A correctly sized pilot hole should be prepared in the mating material before driving the screw to ensure accurate thread formation and prevent material deformation. Avoid using this fastener in structural load-bearing connections beyond its rated grade. Always follow applicable building, electrical, or mechanical codes for the specific assembly being fastened.
