Value Collection SPTCIF02501500-100BX 1/4-20 Slotted Screw

Product Description

The Value Collection SPTCIF02501500-100BX is a 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastic, and similar materials. It measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and features a pan head profile with a slotted drive. The Type F point incorporates cutting flutes that displace or remove material to form threads on installation. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. It is a standard fastener used across HVAC, electrical, sheet metal, and light fabrication work.

This screw is suited for assembly and service tasks where a thread cutting fastener is needed in softer metals or engineered plastics. Common applications include securing panels, brackets, junction boxes, and enclosures in residential and light commercial settings. The pan head sits flush to slightly raised on the workpiece surface, making it appropriate for applications where a low-profile head is needed without countersinking. A slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers or matching power driver bits. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical service will find this fastener covers a broad range of routine installation needs.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes and thread cutting applications
• Type F point with cutting flutes forms threads in pre-drilled holes without a separate tap
• Pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface without countersinking
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power driver bits
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and machinability for general-purpose use
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/4-20 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in sheet metal, light-gauge steel, plastic panels, and similar substrates common in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or matching power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the slotted drive. Ensure the pilot hole diameter matches the recommended specification for a 1/4-20 Type F thread cutting screw in the specific substrate material before driving. Power down or de-energize any electrical or mechanical system before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid over-driving, which can damage formed threads or deform the pan head seating surface.
