Value Collection TFTCIF0310250P-100BX Flooring Screw T40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TFTCIF0310250P-100BX is a flat head, T40 Torx drive flooring screw designed for securing hardwood, engineered wood, and subfloor materials in residential and light commercial construction. Built from Grade 2 steel with a black phosphate finish, this fastener measures 2.5 inches in overall length and carries a 5/16-18 UNC thread specification. The Type F point aids in thread engagement and reduces splitting during installation. Flooring contractors and carpenters reach for this screw when a countersinking flat head profile and high-torque Torx drive are needed for a flush, professional finish.

This screw is suited for flooring installation applications where a UNC thread pattern and T40 drive are specified. The black phosphate finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for interior use. The flat head geometry allows the fastener to sit flush or slightly below the surface of the workpiece, which is standard practice in hardwood and engineered flooring assemblies. Installation is typically performed by flooring contractors, finish carpenters, or general contractors working on wood subfloor and finished floor fastening tasks.

Key Features

• T40 Torx drive reduces cam-out under high-torque driving conditions
• Flat head profile countersinks flush with or below the work surface
• Type F point for positive thread engagement and reduced wood splitting
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for reliable pull-out resistance in wood substrates
• Black phosphate finish suited for interior flooring applications
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for standard flooring loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use flooring fastener for applications requiring a 5/16-18 UNC, flat head, T40 Torx drive screw with a 2.5 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by flooring contractors or carpenters using a T40 Torx bit and a variable-speed drill or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwood species to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating of the flat head. Follow applicable building codes and flooring manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and penetration depth. Do not use this fastener in exterior or high-moisture environments unless additional corrosion protection is confirmed.
