Smoothly install these inserts for strong threads near the edges and corners of soft metal surfaces. They’re lubricated to prevent sticking as you thread them in. Since these have thinner walls than our key-locking and thread-locking inserts, they don’t need as much space and won't bulge or crack the material. The knurls press (swage) into the material to keep inserts in place when you tighten or loosen a screw.
To install these inserts, you need a drill bit, a counterbore, a standard tap, an installation tool, and a hammer. Drill a hole, counterbore the top, and tap it. Place the insert into the installation tool, then hand-tighten it into the tapped hole. Strike the tool to secure the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding material.
High-Strength Dry-Film-Lubricated Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—Stronger than our 17-4 PH stainless steel inserts, these inserts absorb impact without cracking and stand up to high-pressure applications. The cadmium plating prevents corrosion in wet environments.
