L H Dottie Co 714 Nylon Button Head Screw 1/4 X 1

Product Description

The L H DOTTIE CO 714 is a nylon button head screw measuring 1/4 inch in diameter by 1 inch in length. Nylon construction makes this fastener non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, suited for applications where metal hardware would cause galvanic corrosion, electrical interference, or cosmetic damage to panels and enclosures. It is commonly used in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing installations where a low-profile, non-metallic fastener is required. Trade professionals in electrical and mechanical trades reach for nylon button heads when securing cover plates, junction box components, or light-duty panel assemblies.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications. Its button head profile distributes clamping load across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of crushing or cracking plastic housings and thin composite panels. Typical install scenarios include securing electrical enclosure covers, control panel faceplates, HVAC filter frames, and similar assemblies where metal screws are not suitable. It is sold individually, one piece per unit.

Key Features

• Nylon construction provides electrical non-conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Button head profile offers a low-profile, wide-bearing surface for use on plastic and composite materials
• 1/4 inch diameter by 1 inch length suits standard light-duty fastening applications
• Lightweight alternative to metal hardware in weight-sensitive or corrosion-prone environments
• Sold as a single piece for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose nylon button head fastener for use in light-duty hardware and accessory applications across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades where a 1/4 inch non-metallic screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hand or with a standard screwdriver or nut driver matching the drive type. Do not overtighten nylon fasteners, as the material is susceptible to thread stripping and head shear under excessive torque. Ensure the mating thread or clearance hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down any electrical panel or enclosure before installing fasteners in live equipment areas, in accordance with applicable NEC requirements.
