FASTITE® 2000™
Thread-Rolling Fasteners For Sheet Metal
Further information
FASTITE® 2000™ fasteners feature a thread-forming design created to deliver cost-effective and optimum joint performance in sheet metal applications as thin as 0.7mm (.028 in.) This unique design employs many of the design innovations for high-performance thread-rolling fasteners featured in TAPTITE 2000® fasteners.
Features and Benefits
- Tapered Thread Root Adjacent to Head
- Maintains full thread major diameter close to the bearing surface
- Undercut Head
- Absorbs material extruded by the screw and increases the underhead contact area to enhance thread engagement and resistance to stripping
- Radius Profile Thread™ with Twin-lead Helix Angle
- Provides a mating thread system in which diametrically opposed threads are engaged
- Provides low thread-forming torque with high resistance to failure
- Head seats squarely compared to off-axis tendency of sheet metal screws
- Blunt CA Point
- Allows entry into small holes to create self-extrusion of the sheet metal and to increase resistance to stripping
- Trilobular™ Body
- Provides resistance to loosening caused by vibration.
- Available with TORX PLUS® Drive System
- Significantly extends tool life
- Ideal drive system for maximum torque transfer
