How to Install Helical Inserts

About Helical Insert Length

Stainless Steel Helical Inserts

Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, these inserts 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.

High-Performance Threading Carbide Inserts






Install these inserts into a matching holder to cut external or internal threads on a workpiece. They are compatible with top-notch style threading, which uses a highly-rigid clamping design, resulting in a smoother finish and superior tool life. When the first point dulls, flip the insert to use the second point.
NPT thread inserts efficiently machine full-profile NPT threads.
Pair a right-hand insert with a right-hand external holder or a left-hand internal holder. Pair a left-hand insert with a left-hand external holder or a right-hand internal holder.
