TAPTITE 2000® FASTENERS
FEATURING THE INNOVATIVE RADIUS PROFILE™ THREAD
Taptite 2000® high performance thread rolling fasteners are specially designed to lower your in-place fastening
costs. Taptite 2000® fasteners form internal threads into plain holes in ductile materials upon initial installation,
which:
• Eliminates the need to pre-tap the nut member
• Reduces problems associated with assembling screws and bolts into pre-tapped holes, such as cross-threading
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Trilobular™ Configuration
° Reduces friction
°
Increases prevailing torque
°
Resists loosening caused by vibration
°
Lower end load requirements
Radius Profile™ Thread
° Lowers thread forming torque without sacrificing performance
°
Higher, more uniform drive-to-fail ratio
°
Increased drive-to-strip ratio
°
Resist internal thread stripping
°
Excellent axial alignment
Roll Forms Own Work-hardened Mating Threads
° Results in higher strength internal threads due to the cold flow/
work hardening that occurs during the forming of the nut thread
Available with TORX PLUS® Drive System
° Significantly extends tool life
°
Ideal drive system for maximum torque transfer
