DG and P screws (Plastoform) are used in polymer and lightmetal components. These screws form a perma-
nent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary
without detrimentally affecting the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is
observed. For this reason it isessential to use a torque wrench.
