How to Install Helical Inserts

About Helical Insert Length

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. All have a prong for ease of installation. An installation tool grips the prong and reduces the coil diameter, enabling the insert to fit in tapped holes. Remove the prong to insert the screw. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, an installation tool, and a prong break-off tool.

Inserts that meet DIN 8140 adhere to international standards for dimensions.

Lubricated Stainless Steel Helical Inserts for Dissimilar Metals

Eliminating the need for primer, these inserts are coated to resist corrosion when installed in different materials. They also prevent the screw from sticking or binding in the insert during installation. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. All have a prong for ease of installation. An installation tool grips the prong and reduces the coil diameter, enabling the insert to fit in tapped holes. Remove the prong to insert the screw. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, an installation tool, and a prong break-off tool.

Lubricated Stainless Steel Screw-Locking Helical Inserts

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation, yet a distorted thread grips the screw to resist loosening. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. All have a prong for ease of installation. An installation tool grips the prong and reduces the coil diameter, enabling the insert to fit in tapped holes. Remove the prong to insert the screw. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, an installation tool, and a prong break-off tool.

Inserts that meet DIN 8140 adhere to international standards for dimensions.

Lubricated Stainless Steel Helical Inserts without Prong

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation. Without a prong to break off and retrieve, they are often used where debris could cause damage. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
