Description
Monster Overview
Tailored for ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, acetal, 3-D printed PLA/-PETG and other tough thermoplastics, our #8-16 Unslotted Hex-Washer Plastite-Alternative Screws rely on the PT 48-2 thread geometry to generate high strip-out resistance while protecting boss walls from cracking. The solid-crown indented 5/16″ external-hex head with integral washer spreads clamp load and seals out debris for a clean, flush finish.
Key Features
- PT 48-2 Thread: 45° flanks & generous pitch carve deep, durable threads in amorphous & semi-crystalline plastics.
- Head / Drive: Indented #8 hex-washer (5/16″ wrench) — power-driver friendly; unslotted crown won’t collect dust.
- Material: Passivated 18-8 (A2) stainless steel for marine-grade corrosion resistance.
- Factory Wax-Lube: Clean, PTFE-free dry wax guarantees ultra-low drive torque and repeatable seating.
- No Tap Needed: Drive straight into a molded or drilled pilot ≈75 % of major Ø for optimum grip.
- Compliance: IFI-308 • DIN 7500 variant • RoHS & REACH compliant.
