Description
Monster Overview:
Bulk 5/16-18 Indented Hex-Washer Head Taptite Alternative Thread-Rolling Screws from Monster Bolts pair a high-torque hex drive with an integrated washer that spreads load and protects finishes. Forged from hardened 410 stainless steel (martensitic, magnetic), these trilobular fasteners roll-form durable, reusable threads in untapped holes—saving time while delivering outstanding strength and vibration resistance in aluminum, mild steel, brass, and plastics.
The alloy is passivated & wax-coated for a clean surface, added lubricity, and RoHS-compliant corrosion protection. Ideal for equipment panels, HVAC frames, truck bodies, and general fabrication that demand stainless strength plus a secure flange-style head.
Monster Features:
- High-Strength 410 SS: Heat-treated martensitic stainless outperforms 18-8 in hardness.
- Thread-Rolling Efficiency: Creates internal threads in one step—no taps, chips, or secondary ops.
- Indented Hex-Washer Head: Hex-washer (flange hex) drive spreads load without a separate washer.
- Vibration Resistance: Interference fit & work-hardened threads keep joints tight under dynamic loads.
- Lower Drive Torque: Trilobular profile and wax top-coat cut friction for faster installs.
