Value Collection SPTCIF-1000620-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF-1000620-100BX is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating its own mating thread in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal and similar materials. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a pan head profile with a slotted drive and a Type F point. The Type F point uses a blunt tapered tip with cutting threads designed to tap into ferrous sheet metal and light structural components. Sold in a box of 100 pieces. Each screw measures 0.625 inches in length under head.

This screw is used across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications where a self-tapping thread cutting fastener is needed in steel panels, brackets, junction boxes, ductwork flanges, and equipment enclosures. The pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface suited for flush or near-flush installations. The slotted drive is compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers and standard slotted bits. These fasteners are a staple in service kits for trade professionals working on light-gauge steel assemblies.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads into pre-drilled holes in thin ferrous metal without a separate tapping operation
• 10-24 UNC thread size is a common standard for sheet metal and equipment enclosure fastening
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade bits and screwdrivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel provides baseline corrosion protection for indoor and sheltered applications
• Sold in a box of 100 for job-site and service-van stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge steel sheet metal, equipment enclosures, electrical panels, ductwork flanges, and similar thin-metal assemblies requiring a Type F point thread cutting screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal mechanics using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Ensure the correct pilot hole diameter is drilled or punched per the 10-24 UNC thread specification before driving. De-energize and lock out any electrical or HVAC equipment before fastening into enclosures or panels. Do not overdrive — pan head screws in thin sheet metal are prone to stripping if torque is not controlled.
