Flat nylon screw

Nylon Flat Screws PL307: the workshop assortment that always comes in handy

When working in the workshop preparing chassis, securing bodies or adjusting mounts, nylon screws are a consumable that disappears quickly. The reference PL307 from PKS solves that problem with a bag that covers the three most demanded sizes in a single order.

Contents of the bag

Each PL307 bag includes:

• 2 screws of 11.5 mm
• 4 screws of 9 mm
• 10 screws of 7.5 mm
• 6 nuts

In total, 22 pieces in a single pack. The ratio is designed so that the most frequently used size —the 7.5 mm— is the most numerous.

Function and performance

Nylon screws have a clear advantage over metal ones in certain applications: they do not conduct electricity, do not add unwanted metal weight in sensitive areas of the chassis, and do not scratch the plastic or resin parts they contact. In assemblies where the fit needs to be fine and repeatable, nylon is more forgiving and easier to work with by hand or with light tools.

Assembly and preparation

Before assembling, it is advisable to check that the screw diameter is correct for the housing. Nylon has slightly less rigidity than metal, so it is not necessary to apply a high torque: it is sufficient for it to be firm without forcing the material. The nuts included in the bag are sized for the screws of the same reference, which facilitates assembly without having to search for complementary parts.

Ideal for…

• Preparers and enthusiasts who maintain an active workshop and need to replenish consumables regularly.
• Assemblies where electrical interference or marks on delicate parts need to be avoided.
• Having stock of the most common sizes without making several different orders.

Frequently asked questions

Which size has the most units in the bag?

The 7.5 mm screws are the most numerous: there are 10 in each bag, compared to 4 of the 9 mm and 2 of the 11.5 mm.

Are the included nuts compatible with all the screws in the bag?

The 6 nuts are designed to be used with the screws of the same reference PL307. It is advisable to verify the diameter if they are to be combined with screws from other series.

Why use nylon screws instead of metal ones?

Nylon does not conduct electricity, weighs less, and does not damage the plastic or resin surfaces it contacts. In areas of the chassis where insulation or the finish of the parts is important, it is a very practical option.

Can they be re-tightened multiple times without deteriorating?

Nylon can withstand several cycles of assembly and disassembly without issues, as long as the tightening is not forced beyond what is necessary. With moderate adjustment, the parts maintain their integrity over many uses.
