Value Collection SPTCIF-1001250-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF-1001250-100BX is a slotted pan head thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or tapped holes in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built to a 10-24 UNC thread specification with a 1-1/4 inch length under head, this screw features a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread as it drives, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation in many applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light industrial use. Sold in a box of 100 pieces.

This screw is commonly used in light sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure construction, and general mechanical assembly where a slotted pan head profile is required. The Type F thread cutting point is well suited for driving into thin ferrous metal and certain hard plastics. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard in North American trade applications, making this screw a practical general-stock fastener for service vans and shop inventory.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts mating threads on installation, reducing prep steps in thin metal applications
• 10-24 UNC coarse thread standard for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening in sheet metal and panel assemblies
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than flat or oval head styles
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel finish provides corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty service environments
• Box quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk stocking for service and fabrication work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style thread cutting fastener compatible with standard 10-24 UNC threaded applications in sheet metal, electrical, HVAC, and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate power driver bit sized for the slotted drive. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a Type F thread cutting screw at 10-24 UNC to avoid splitting or stripping. Do not overtorque; Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade fasteners and is not intended for high-stress structural joints. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for the assembly being serviced.
