Yeah, Jay, I think Dynamic Fastener is where I saw the pull-out
chart. I believe that 1/4" is equivalent to #14 - can anyone verify
this? <br>
<br>
So the question (to which I don't know the answer) becomes: in heavy
gauge steel (Lars mentioned "about 1/8"), will a 1/4 x 20 machine
thread resist pullout better than a Tek thread? There would be more
threads in the material with the machine thread, but the thread's
major diameter is much smaller than the thread of the Tek screw. <br>
