Helical groove fasteners and methods for producing the same are provided for use in systems requiring fluid passage through the fastener. In one embodiment, the fastener includes a shank, a head, a threaded portion, and at least one groove extending through at least a portion of the threaded portion. The fastener can include a single groove or multiple grooves. In certain preferred embodiments, the helix rotation angle of the groove is selected so that the shank has a continuous diameter to facilitate the thread forming process. In preferred embodiments, the fastener is cold forged and the threads are formed using a thread rolling die.
