Value Collection SPTCIF0-800500-100BX 8-32 Unc Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF0-800500-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastics, and composite materials. The pan head profile keeps a low, wide bearing surface above the material, and the slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers. A Type F point features cutting edges that remove material as the fastener is driven, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. The Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. This box contains 100 screws.

These thread cutting screws are used across HVAC, electrical, and sheet-metal fabrication work where technicians need to fasten panels, brackets, or covers to thin metal without pre-tapped holes. The 8-32 UNC thread size is a common fit for light-gauge sheet metal, junction boxes, equipment enclosures, and control panel assemblies. The 0.5 inch length under head suits thin-material stacking where fastener protrusion must be kept minimal. Installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet-metal workers during equipment assembly or field service.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads directly into the host material, no pre-tapping required
• Pan head profile provides broad clamping surface on thin-gauge sheet metal and panels
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit tips
• Zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in typical indoor service environments
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and cost for general fastening applications
• Sold in a 100-count box for job-site and bench-stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for light-gauge sheet metal, plastic housings, and composite panels where a Type F thread-forming fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pre-drilled or punched pilot hole sized to the recommended clearance for an 8-32 thread cutting application. De-energize or shut off the equipment before fastening panels or covers on electrical or HVAC assemblies. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the slotted drive or cracking thin host materials. Follow applicable NEC or equipment-manufacturer guidelines when securing electrical enclosure hardware.
