Value Collection SPTCIF0-401000-100BX 4-40 Unc Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF0-401000-100BX is a 4-40 UNC slotted thread cutting screw designed for use in light-duty fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and HVAC assembly work. The screw features a pan head profile, a Type F cutting point, and a zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction. The Type F point is engineered to cut its own mating threads into pre-drilled holes in thin metal, sheet stock, or similar substrates, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole. This box quantity of 100 pieces suits service technicians and assembly workers who need a reliable, consistent fastener on hand for repeated installations.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications including electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment enclosures, junction boxes, and similar sheet metal or light-gauge steel assemblies. The 1-inch length under head provides adequate thread engagement for typical thin-material fastening tasks. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is common in legacy equipment and enclosure hardware. Packaged in a quantity of 100, this SKU is appropriate for stock replenishment in service vans or shop bins.

Key Features

• Type F cutting point self-taps into pre-drilled holes in sheet metal and thin steel without a pre-tapped hole
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for enclosure panels and cover plates
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor use
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard requirements for light-duty mechanical fastening
• 4-40 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with common imperial fastener tooling
• Box of 100 pieces supports bulk service work and inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 4-40 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge steel, sheet metal enclosures, and general electrical or HVAC assembly applications where a Type F point and slotted pan head drive are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or mechanical assemblers using a flat-blade screwdriver or corresponding bit. A correctly sized pilot hole should be prepared in the mating material prior to driving the screw to ensure proper thread engagement and avoid material distortion. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow lockout/tagout procedures before fastening components inside live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel screws at this size are susceptible to head damage under excessive torque.
