Value Collection SPTCIF-1001000-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF-1001000-100BX is a 10-24 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating its own mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface, while the slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. The Type F point features a blunt, tapered tip with cutting threads that tap into metal, plastics, and similar materials without requiring a pre-tapped hole.

This screw is used in sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC equipment panels, and light structural assembly work where a self-tapping fastener in a standard UNC thread size is required. The 10-24 UNC thread and 1-inch length under head make it a common choice for attaching sheet metal components, brackets, and covers in residential and light commercial applications. Sold in a box of 100 pieces, this quantity is suited for ongoing service work or small-scale production assembly.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thread cutting fastener for use in applications requiring a 10-24 UNC pan head slotted screw with a Type F point, including sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment covers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or power driver with a slotted bit. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is sized correctly for a Type F thread cutting screw to achieve proper thread engagement without stripping. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before fastening components on or near electrical enclosures. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the cut threads in thinner or softer base materials.
