Tap-Flex: Increased thread engagement with strength and ductility

These thread-forming screws are dual heat treated, self-tapping fasteners that provide the strength, ductility, and resistance to embrittlement failures required in critical curtain wall and dissimilar metal applications.

Tap-Flex screws are threadformers with the patent-pending E-form segmented thread profile. This design improves both installation and in-place performance:

  • Decreases thread-forming torque, easing starting and placement
  • Overcomes friction build-up and reduces drive torque
  • Increases thread engagement, so it resists back-out and loosening caused by vibration or thermal changes
