One proven family covers sheet metal, die-cast, thermoplastic, and prevailing-torque applications without pre-tapped holes or secondary locking features.
Why source through Way Fast
We serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers — primarily to North American OEM programs, including platforms shared with European and Japanese brands — with day-to-day experience handling the documentation and tolerance standards these projects demand.
01 · Multi-source capacity
Working with multiple REMINC®-licensed manufacturing partners — we match each order to the best-fit production line, stabilizing lead times and cost when single-source capacity tightens.
02 · Submission-grade documentation
Full support for PPAP (Levels 1–3), IMDS submission, and RoHS / REACH documentation.
03 · Audited special-process chain
Partners certified to AIAG CQI-9 (heat treat), CQI-11 (plating), and CQI-12 (coating) — covering the full post-processing chain under audited special-process controls.
04 · Multilingual drawing review
Technical drawing review in English, German, Japanese, and Chinese — including ISO 8015 GPS callouts, JIS standards, thread tolerance classes, and coating specifications.
05 · Cross-reference support
Cross-referencing between Taptite II, Taptite 2000, and competitor trilobular forms when drawings specify legacy or mixed callouts.
Family coverage · 7 forms
Selecting across the Taptite® family
Taptite II®
Trilobular · metal sheet
Trilobular thread-forming for low-carbon steel, aluminum, brass, and die-cast. Baseline choice for most metal-sheet joints.
Taptite 2000®
Radiused-lobe · thin section
Radiused-lobe profile, lower drive-to-form ratio and reduced thread stripping in thin sections.
Duo-Taptite®
Dual-lead · high-cycle
Dual-lead geometry for faster initial engagement on high-cycle assembly lines.
Remform®
Thermoplastic · high pull-out
Thread-forming for thermoplastics; asymmetric flank geometry for high pull-out and low radial stress.
Plastite®
Trilobular · plastic housing
Trilobular form for thermoplastic housings and general plastic fastening.
Kleerlok®
Prevailing-torque · vibration
Prevailing-torque locking screw for vibration-prone joints without chemical patch.
Powerlok®
Thread-rolling · hard die-cast
Thread-rolling form optimized for thin sheet metal and hard die-castings.
