Value Collection SPTCIF0-800620-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF0-800620-100BX is an 8-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating clean, accurate threads in pre-drilled holes in sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials. The pan head profile keeps the fastener low-profile against the work surface, while the slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers common in trade kits. The Type F point features cutting edges that tap their own thread path on installation, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. The screw measures 5/8 inches in length under the head and is finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance in typical indoor applications. Sold in a box of 100 units.

This screw is suited for light fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical enclosure assembly, and general mechanical assembly tasks where a self-threading fastener in a standard 8-32 UNC size is required. The Grade 2 steel construction and zinc finish make it appropriate for indoor or sheltered applications. Tradespeople who regularly assemble ductwork components, control panel enclosures, junction boxes, or equipment covers will find the pan head and slotted drive combination straightforward to work with using hand tools or power drivers.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge steel, sheet metal, and similar substrates where a Type F self-threading screw is specified.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or qualified technician should confirm the correct pilot hole diameter for the material thickness and substrate before installation, following the fastener manufacturer or applicable trade standard recommendations. Ensure the work surface is secure and de-energized where fasteners are being driven near electrical components. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver sized to the head slot to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has defined torque limits that vary by material and application.
