Description
These #8-16 x 5/8" thread rolling screws form their own mating threads as they are driven, using a tri-lobular shank that displaces material rather than cutting it. They are a direct alternative to Plastite 48-2 screws, built from 18/8 Stainless Steel, with a pan head and a six lobe drive.
- Material and finish: 18/8 Stainless Steel
- Head style: Pan
- Drive: Six Lobe
- Thread form: Tri-Lobe, Plastite 48-2 alternative
- Thread size: #8-16
- Length: 5/8"
- Applications: Thread forming into untapped holes in metal assemblies
Rolling the thread instead of cutting it leaves no chips to clear and work-hardens the mating material, which raises pull-out strength and resistance to vibration loosening. Hole size matters: follow the manufacturer recommended pilot hole for the material and thickness being fastened.
