Fastite® - the fastener for thin rear sheets.
FASTITE® thread forming screws were developed to create a strong mechanical joint with excellent thread engagement into untapped thin sheets, while providing “LOWER IN-PLACE COST SAVINGS” associated with TRILOBULAR™ thread forming screws. FASTITE® screws result in a cost-effective joint with increased failure torque and resistance to stripping, when compared to other fastener types and assemblies.
