Self-Threading fittings, have special tapered drive threads for fast production line installation in untapped hole, saving the tapping cost (use in heat-treated parts is not recommended).
A leakproof permanent seal is formed because the installation force causes the material of the untapped hole to reshape conforming to the fittings contour.
Thread forming fittings can be replaced by any standard threaded fitting or by another thread-forming fitting because it realigns damaged threads in existing holes.
Spherical base forms leak-proof seal.
