FASTITE^® 2000™

The right solution for thin sheet metal applications.

Overview

Todays assembly solutions for thin sheet metals are limited and are often not designed to meet both joint performance requirements and cost efficiency. FASTITE^® 2000™ screws create a strong mechanical joint with excellent thread engagement into untapped thin sheets and provide a cost-effective joint with increased failure torque and resistance to stripping when compared to other fastener types and assemblies.

Features

• Tapered thread root adjacent to the screw head to maintain thread major diameter close to the head
• Undercut feature to increase assembly failure torque
• Unique RADIUS PROFILE™ thread design combined with twin-lead helix angle to provide a mating thread system in which diametrically opposed threads are engaged
• Non cut-off "CA" style point for extruding in small holes having radial percent thread engagements up to 400%
• TRILOBULAR™ screw thread body to provide "resistance to loosening"

Benefits

• More effective means of fastening thin sheet metal components
• Overcomes premature stripping in thin sheet metal applications
• Increases assembly failure torque values
• Eliminates the disadvantage of sheet metal deflection
• Ensures the screw head seats squarely to the nut member
• Eliminates under-filled thread crests approaching the underside of the head
• Provides opposing thread engagement in the sheet metal due to the double lead thread design
• Serrations added to the underside of the screw head to further increase failure torque and resistance to loosening
• TORX PLUS^® Drive System as standard to lengthen tool life and ease assembly
