U NIQUE D ESIGN I NCREASES P ERFORMANCE TAPTITE 2000® fasteners are designed to provide the benefits of previous TAPTITE® fastener products with an innovative new thread design – the Radius Profile™ Thread. The proven TRILOBULAR™ principle is maintained while incorporating this innovative thread design. The result is a new generation of TAPTITE® fasteners, providing excellent mechanical, assembly, and ergonomic characteristics surpassed by no other technology. TAPTITE 2000 fasteners afford end-users with enhanced opportunities to reduce the overall cost of assembly. Trilobular Cross Section FEATURES...

TAPTITE® fasteners have been used in a variety of industries since its inception over forty years ago. Built upon those years of experience with the proven performance features of TAPTITE®, TAPTITE® II, and Duo-TAPTITE® fasteners, the TAPTITE 2000® design combines all these previous benefits with an even lower thread-forming torque. The result is optimal joint performance in a wide range of applications. APPLICATION COMPARISON TAPTITE® II Fasteners Duo-TAPTITE® Fasteners Lowest thread-forming torque Positioning applications Structural applications High torque-tension applications High strip-out...

TAPTITE 2000 ® S TANDARD FASTENERS RECOMMENDED EXTRUDED PILOT HOLE SIZES IN LIGHT-GAGE STEEL Extruding holes for fasteners in light- gage steel nearly doubles the length of thread engagement over the original material thickness. HOLE SIZE DIAMETER (D) PER MATERIAL THICKNESS – METRIC SIZES (mm) TAPTITE 2000® fasteners develop almost twice the failure torque in extruded holes, providing maximum joint integrity. Example: The chart shows that for a M4 x 0.7 screw in a material thickness of 0.75mm the suggested hole diameter is 3.59mm. The corresponding “H” dimension is the 1.35mm minimum, making...

Hole data accuracy decreases for engagements less than 70%. This is because the above data is based on a linear relation between hole size and percentage of thread engagement. Hole Size = D – (0.6495 x P x...

SPECIAL POINT DESIGNS TAPTITE 2000® CA POINT FASTENERS ® TAPTITE 2000 CA Fasteners have a gimlet point for use where clearance holes and pilot holes do not align. The CA point is also good for rapid hole finding floating nut members or difficult access applications. body section A-A cut-off style point point non-cut-off style point The CA point can be supplied with a sharp point or a slightly truncated blunt point, which is desirable for situations when the sharp point could be a potential hazard to wires, components or assembly line and service personnel.
