Value Fastener maintains a huge, in-stock inventory of steel thread forming screws and stainless steel thread forming screws. We carry a variety of brands and styles, including Plas-Fix® 45 and Plastite® and EJOT® PT® metric thread rolling screws, and Taptite® and Plastite® inch-size thread rolling screws.
Features
It has smaller root and major diameters than a 48° PLASTITE®, so it can be used in smaller bosses.

EJOT® PT®-Alternative, Metric Thread Rolling Screws
With a high thread profile and recessed thread root, the PT® screw provides increased thread engagement with minimal stress on the boss. It provides optimal performance in a wide range of thermoplastics.Features
- Narrow 30° thread profile
- Optimum thread pitch
- Round body
- Recessed thread root
- Provides maximum resistance to back-out and pull-out
- Minimizes boss failure
Plas-Fix®45 and Plastite®-Alternate,Metric Thread Rolling Screws and Plastite®-Alternative, Inch Sizes Thread Rolling Screws
The PLASTITE® 45 screw is designed to facilitate thread-forming in less-compressible plastics while providing high resistance to strip-out and pull-out.It has smaller root and major diameters than a 48° PLASTITE®, so it can be used in smaller bosses.
Features
- Tri-roundular configuration that allows displaced material to cold flow back into relief areas.
- 45° profile allows thread to penetrate deeply into plastic material
- Single lead design and narrow helix angle lowers drive torque and failure torque in stiffer plastics
- Reduces possibility of boss failure
- Increases product reliability
- Eliminates need for inserts and lock washers
- Minimizes radial stress
- Allows design of thinner bosses
- Generates strong mating threads
- Resists vibration loosening
- Reduces probability of strip-out and pull-out
- Achieves wide differentials between drive and fail torque
- Creates less stress on the boss
Taptite®-Alternative, Inch Sizes Thread Rolling Screws
TAPTITE 2000® fasteners are high performance thread rolling screws specially designed to lower your in-place fastening costs.TAPTITE 2000® screws 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
- Trilobular™ configuration
- Radius Profile Thread™
- Roll forms own work-hardened mating threads
- Available with TORX Plus® Drive System
- Reduces friction
- Increases prevailing torque
- Resists loosening caused by vibration
- Lower end load requirements
- 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
- Results in higher strength internal threads due to the cold flow/work hardening that occurs during the forming of the nut thread
- Formed thread can accept metric fastener
- Drive Systems: All styles available; TORX Plus® Drive System recommended
- Point Style: Standard TAPTITE® point; also available in SP™ (short point) and CA point
- Materials: Low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel
- Finishes: Will accept all typical finishes
