Value Collection SPTCIF02500750-100BX Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF02500750-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for reliable fastening in metal and other materials where a mating thread does not pre-exist. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, while the slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. A Type F point — featuring a sharp cutting edge at the tip — enables the screw to form or cut threads directly into the base material during installation. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers adequate mechanical strength for light-to-medium duty applications and basic corrosion resistance in non-harsh environments. This box contains 100 screws.

These thread cutting screws are suited for use in light fabrication, sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC ductwork components, and similar trade applications where self-threading fasteners are required. The 3/4-inch length under the head makes them appropriate for thin-gauge material stacks where pull-through resistance and thread engagement need to be balanced. They are commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals during equipment assembly or field fabrication work.

• Pan head profile provides a broad, low-profile bearing surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for light-to-medium duty mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Sold in a box of 100 screws to support job-site and shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for thin-gauge steel, sheet metal, and similar base materials used in light fabrication and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or other trade professionals using a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the slotted head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole sized for the minor diameter of the 1/4-20 thread is recommended to ensure proper thread engagement and prevent material deformation. Do not over-drive — thread cutting screws depend on controlled insertion to achieve full thread form. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in the base material.
