FASTITE® 2000™ screw

The best cost-effective solution for JOINING THIN METAL SHEET.

When to choose FASTITE® 2000™ screw?

How does it work?

FASTITE® 2000™  TRILOBULAR®  screws have been specially designed for the assembly into untapped holes in thin aluminium and steel sheets.

  • Twin-lead helix provides starting stability.
  • Special extruding point increases the thread engagement length during screw insertion.
  • Increased core diameter approaching the underside of the head causes additional forward and backward extrusion to increase thread engagement.

Benefits

  • Eliminates the problem of stripping or loose assemblies with self-tapping screws: unthreaded length below the head is larger than the thickness of the assembly, causing the screw to clip the sheet.
  • Assembly costs reduction by eliminating the thread tapping process when using machine screws and sheet extrusion.
  • Optimized thread engagement provides high pull-out and vibration loosening resistance.
  • Twin-lead thread increases stripping resistance.
  • Clockwise under head serrations increase resistance to stripping.
  • TRILOBULAR® thread section provides low threading torque and improves ergonomics.
  • The special extruding point ensures an excellent alignment and hole finding, which provides a secure and tight assembly.
  • Possibility of piercing thin materials with the optional cut off point.
  • It is an efficient alternative to high cost elements as threaded inserts and caged nuts.
