What the 8-16 x 3/8 Plastite Screw does
A Plastite screw has a specially profiled thread that forms strong, low-stress threads in plastic and resists backing out, so it holds far better in a molded boss than a standard machine screw would. On the CMBP-6CL’s largely plastic backpack housing this #8-16 x 3/8-inch Plastite screw fastens covers and components into their bosses reliably.
Signs the 8-16 x 3/8 Plastite Screw needs replacing
Replace this screw if the plastic boss has stripped and it no longer holds, if the drive recess is chewed, or if it is corroded. Because Plastite screws form their own thread, repeatedly reusing one in the same boss can wear the hold; renew the screw if it spins free, and avoid over-torquing, which strips the boss.
Installation and fit
Drive the new X1263 screw into its molded boss along the thread it formed, straight and without over-torquing, until the part is held snug. Do not overtighten a Plastite screw in plastic, which strips the boss. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced CleanMax equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony.
