Description
Monster Overview:
Purpose-built for thermoplastic assemblies, these
#8-16 Phillips Flat Head PT 48-2 Thread-Forming Screws employ a
Plastite-alternative tri-lobular flank that cold-flows plastic,
cutting chip-free internal threads—no taps, no debris.
Heat-treated carbon-steel blanks receive a deep black-oxide conversion finish
for low-glare corrosion protection and a factory wax film that delivers
consistently low seating torque. Master cartons keep your per-unit cost razor-low.

- Flush 82° Flat Head: Seats smooth in thin lids, bezels & access covers.
- Plastite-Alt. PT 48-2 Geometry: Maximises pull-out while resisting strip-out in ABS, nylon, PC & more.
- Drive: Phillips #2 cross recess—reliable with manual, pneumatic, or automated drivers.
- Material & Finish: Heat-treated carbon steel, black oxide + dry wax for repeatable clamp load.
- Bulk Packaging: Sealed master cartons—ideal for appliance, electronics & industrial lines.
