Value Collection SPTCFIF-1000370-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCFIF-1000370-100BX is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for use in metal fastening applications where a clean, self-threading fit is required. Built to Grade 2 steel standards and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this screw features a pan head, slotted drive, and Type F point. The Type F point uses a blunt, tapered end with cutting flutes to tap its own mating threads into pre-drilled or punched holes in light-gauge metal. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head. Each box contains 100 screws with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

This screw is suited for light-duty metal assembly work in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-thread standard commonly used in sheet metal cabinets, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. The slotted pan head keeps a low profile and is compatible with standard flat-blade drivers. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working on equipment enclosures and sheet metal components will find this screw appropriate for production and service use.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts its own mating threads in pre-drilled or punched metal holes, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation
• 10-32 UNF fine thread provides strong thread engagement in light-gauge metal
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor applications
• Sold in boxes of 100 for bench stock and service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet assemblies, and similar sheet metal applications requiring a self-threading screw.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or sheet metal mechanic typically installs thread cutting screws as part of enclosure assembly or service work. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before fastening near live components, in accordance with NFPA 70E and applicable local codes. Use a correctly sized pilot hole as specified for the 10-32 thread size to avoid stripping the newly cut threads. Do not overtighten, as the zinc-plated Grade 2 steel has defined torque limits that can be exceeded with power drivers set too high.
