Description
Monster Overview:
Boost thermoplastic assemblies with #8-16 Phillips Flat Head PT 48-2 Thread-Forming Screws in corrosion-proof 18-8 (304) stainless steel. The Plastite-alternative tri-lobular flank plastically flows plastic, producing chip-free internal threads—no pre-tapping, no debris. Each screw is passivated to ASTM A967 and factory wax-lubed for repeatably low seating torque. Bulk master cartons slash per-unit cost for high-volume lines.
