This is the basic cross-section of a Taptite 2000. The fundamental objective of this so-called trilobular, slightly triangular cross-section of the Taptite 2000 is to reduce the tapping torque in order to guarantee a stable assembly process. At the same time, a large difference between the tapping torque and the tightening torque is desired.
