Value Collection TFTCIF0310200P-100BX Flat Head Flooring Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TFTCIF0310200P-100BX is a flat head flooring screw engineered for demanding subfloor and hardwood flooring installations. It features a T40 Torx drive for high torque transfer with minimal cam-out, a Type F point for self-drilling into wood substrates, and a 5/16-18 UNC thread profile. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a black phosphate finish that provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during installation. At 2 inches overall length, it suits typical subfloor layering. Flooring contractors and general construction trades install this fastener where consistent drive performance and secure thread engagement are required.

This screw is suited for wood-to-wood and subfloor fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface, making it appropriate for flooring decks, underlayment attachment, and similar finish-critical assemblies. The T40 Torx drive requires a matching T40 bit, which delivers better rotational control than square or Phillips drives under high-torque conditions. The black phosphate finish is compatible with interior applications where moderate moisture exposure may occur during the construction phase.

Key Features

• T40 Torx drive reduces cam-out during high-torque installation
• Type F self-drilling point eliminates pre-drilling in most wood substrates
• Flat head profile sits flush for finish-critical flooring applications
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for strong pull-out resistance in wood framing
• Black phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and lubricity
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable mechanical performance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit flooring fastener for wood subfloor and hardwood flooring assemblies requiring a 5/16-18 UNC flat head screw with a T40 Torx drive and Type F point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by flooring contractors or carpenters using a T40 Torx bit and a drill or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving the flat head. Ensure the substrate is clear of utilities before driving fasteners, and follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and penetration depth. Do not substitute a smaller Torx bit size, as this will damage the drive recess and reduce torque transfer. Power down any adjacent low-voltage floor heating systems before beginning fastener installation.
