TRU-START™
Featured Product
Cross-threading - it occurs every day in many factories as products are assembled with threaded fasteners. At some sites it is so common that for the more troublesome applications, special repair screws of the same pitch, but one size larger in diameter, are stocked for replacement purposes. The rework and repair costs can be huge, but are often accepted as standard operating procedure. Now, there is a fastener designed to prevent cross-threading and its associated costs - the TRU-START™ fastener. The unique TRU-START™ point design not only prevents cross-threading in tapped holes, but also locates and aligns the fastener when entering a tapped hole. The absence of threads along one side of the fastener prevents the fastener from engaging the nut threads while the fastener is at an angle. The orientation and angle of the point were developed in relationship to the fastener''''s thread helix angle.

the remaining 85% cost. i.e. the cost of pre-tapping the hole and other
tapping related costs. We refer to this cost as the "Big 85" The use
of TAPTITE® products lowers the "Big 85"!
