Value Collection SPTCFIF-1001000-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCFIF-1001000-100BX is a 10-32 UNF thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal and similar materials. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suited to flush or near-flush fastening applications. A slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits. The Type F point features a blunt, tapered tip with cutting edges that form threads on insertion, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plate finish, this screw offers corrosion resistance suitable for typical indoor mechanical and electrical enclosure work. Sold in a box of 100 pieces.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel fabrication, light-gauge sheet metal work, and general mechanical enclosure fastening. The 10-32 UNF thread size is a standard fine-thread specification found throughout HVAC controls, motor mounting brackets, junction boxes, and similar trade applications. The 1 inch length under head suits material stacks where thread engagement depth must be controlled precisely. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working on light commercial and residential equipment will find this fastener appropriate for routine panel and bracket work.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine-thread specification for precise thread engagement in thin metal
• Type F point cuts mating threads on installation — no pre-tapping required
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface with low installed height
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power bits
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plate finish for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Sold in a box of 100 pieces for bench stock and service van replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal assemblies typical in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and mechanical panels where a Type F thread-forming point is specified.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting screws require a correctly sized pilot hole in the base material — consult the applicable hole-size chart for 10-32 UNF Type F screws before installation. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted power bit set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the newly formed threads. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before installing fasteners on or near live panels, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not reuse thread cutting screws in the same hole, as the formed threads may not re-engage with the same holding strength.
