These aluminum inserts are 70% lighter than brass inserts, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. They have good corrosion resistance, which is comparable to brass but not as good as stainless steel. The flange provides a load-bearing surface and acts as an electrical contact. Press them into a drilled hole, then install a screw to expand the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding plastic to keep it secure. Installed length includes the flange.

The flange keeps these inserts from pulling through a hole. Install on the underside of the material by pressing them into a drilled hole. Install a screw to expand the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding plastic to keep it from pulling out. Made from brass, they’re nonmagnetic, corrosion resistant, and electrically conductive. Installed length includes the flange.

Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these inserts are stronger than brass inserts and less likely to corrode from mild chemicals and water. Install them into plastic to add durable threads—they hold their shape better than threads cut directly into the plastic. Press them in through the underside of your material, and the flange will keep them from pulling through the hole. When you thread a screw in, the insert expands and drives the knurls into the surrounding material. Since they’re lead-free, you don’t need to remove them from plastic parts before recycling them. Installed length includes the flange.
