• Truss head spreads load to prevent damage to soft or thin materials
• Helps secure control panels, brackets, or trim pieces that require a low-profile head
• Common replacement when original mounting screws are missing, stripped, or corroded

• One truss-head tapping screw

• Use the correct screwdriver bit and moderate torque to avoid stripping the screw or workpiece
• Start threading straight and let the screw form threads without forcing at an angle
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific service safety procedures before working internally
• Replace any damaged mating threads or clips for a secure fit

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.
