Description
Thread Rolling Screws – Slotted Indented Hex Washer Head, Tri-Lobe Drive, 1/4-20 x 3/8
Engineered for secure, high-strength fastening in metal assemblies, these Thread Rolling Screws deliver dependable performance. Featuring a slotted indented hex washer head, zinc-coated steel, and a waxed finish, plus a Tri-Lobe drive, they provide precise engagement, easy driving, and strong thread formation. Sized at 1/4-20 UNC with a 3/8 inch length, they serve as a practical alternative to traditional Taptite screws.
Overview
Thread rolling screws form their own strong, consistent threads by displacing metal rather than cutting it. This thread-rolling action yields higher pull-out resistance and smoother driving. The slotted indented hex washer head seats flush, while the Tri-Lobe drive reduces cam-out for reliable installation, even in challenging assemblies.
Key Features
- Thread Rolling Action: Form durable, interference-free threads in metal for robust holding power.
- Head & Drive: Slotted indented hex washer head with Tri-Lobe drive for secure seating and improved torque.
- Material & Finish: Steel with zinc coating and a waxed finish for corrosion resistance and smoother driving.

- Taptite Alternative: A cost-effective self-tapping option that delivers reliable performance where Taptite studs are not required.
Applications
Ideal for metal-to-metal fastening in electrical enclosures, cabinets, automotive components, and appliance assemblies where secure, vibration-resistant fasteners are needed without pre-tapping.
