Briggs & Stratton 7900055YP Plastite 48-2 Thread-Forming Screw

The Briggs & Stratton 7900055YP is a genuine OEM Plastite 48-2 thread-forming screw designed specifically for use in small engines and outdoor power equipment applications. This specialized fastener features advanced thread-rolling technology engineered for secure fastening in plastic and thermoplastic materials commonly found in engine housings, covers, and components.

Key Features:

• Plastite 48-2 design with twin-lead threads for faster, more efficient installation
• Sharp 48° thread profile increases holding strength and reduces material displacement
• Trilobular body shape allows plastic material to flow into relief areas, creating a secure lock
• Higher drive-to-strip torque ratio reduces risk of stripping during installation
• Thread-rolling action forms clean internal threads without cutting or damaging plastic
• Genuine Briggs & Stratton OEM part ensures proper fit and performance

This fastener is engineered to provide superior holding power in plastic assemblies while minimizing the risk of boss bursting or material failure. The twin-lead thread design enables rapid engagement and reduces assembly time compared to single-lead screws. Ideal for securing plastic components on lawn mowers, generators, pressure washers, and other Briggs & Stratton-powered equipment.
