Speed Queen D505870 Tap Screw 8B Hi-lo Phillips

Product Description

The SPEED QUEEN D505870 is a Type 8B Hi-Lo thread-forming tap screw with a Phillips drive head, used as a structural or panel fastener in SPEED QUEEN laundry equipment. Hi-Lo thread geometry provides strong holding power in sheet metal and plastic housings by using alternating high and low thread profiles that reduce drive torque while increasing pullout resistance. This screw is a direct OEM replacement part, matched to the exact thread form and drive type required by the original equipment design. HVAC and appliance service technicians install this part during panel reassembly, component replacement, or housing repair procedures.

This fastener is used in residential SPEED QUEEN washers and dryers where original tap screws have stripped, corroded, or been lost during service. It is appropriate for panel-to-frame and bracket-to-housing attachment points in both top-load and front-load laundry unit configurations. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers commonly found in appliance service kits.

Installation Notes

Appliance service technicians install this fastener as part of panel reassembly or component replacement procedures. Disconnect power to the unit at the circuit breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning any service work. Use a correctly sized Phillips driver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten into plastic housing bosses, as Hi-Lo screws cut their own threads and over-torquing can crack mounting points.
