Why are TopTorq threads so much less susceptible to stab damage?
TopTorq threads have wider crests and stab flanks and larger radii that reduce dents and dings, and have faster tapers that allow wider angular misalignment, whereas, other threads require stabbing guides and a slow tedious lowering procedure to prevent damage that occurs especially to such as old style wedging type threads and cylindrical two-step threads. Also, TopTorq pins stab deep, unlike API pins, which insures alignment without effort, and several RPT Patents have features such as differential tapers, steep tapers, and proportional thread form dimensions to prevent cross-threading.
