    About Pipe and Fittings
    industrial info icon

    Measure your pipe and fittings to identify their pipe size, thread size, schedule, and thread type. Then, find compatible components.

    Extreme-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

    With the strength to handle extreme pressures, these fittings can be used to connect equipment in hydraulic fluid lines.

    UN/UNF (SAE Straight) Thread—Also known as O-ring boss threads.
    316 Stainless Steel—Fittings are the most corrosion resistant. They stand up to wet environments, just like 304 stainless steel fittings, but unlike 304 stainless steel, they will not corrode from salt water, chlorine solutions, and chemicals.

    Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal.
    Add strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. The keys on these inserts drive into holes to hold more securely than thread-locking or helical inserts. They prevent slipping and rotating, so they’re stable enough for use in vehicle or aerospace parts that experience heavy vibration. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    These inserts are manufactured and tested to meet or compare to strict standards adopted by the U.S. military. The keys drive into aluminum and other soft metal for a secure hold that won't slip or rotate, even in vibrating vehicle or aerospace parts. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    High-Strength Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—These inserts have the strength to stand up to high-pressure applications and a plating that helps screws thread in smoothly.

    Tap the thread size you need into the solid body of these inserts. They’re a great choice when you need a custom combination of internal thread size and external diameter. Use them to repair or add new threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. They can also plug threaded holes without the hassle of welding. Keys on the inserts drive into material to prevent slipping and rotating in the hole.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.

    Create the tightest hold in aluminum and other soft metal without screws sticking. The lubricant on these inserts eases installation, and the irregularly shaped threads won’t let screws back out from vibration. Inserts have keys that drive into material to prevent them from slipping or rotating in the hole.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Dry-Film-Lubricated Cadmium-Plated Steel—The plating creates a barrier against rust.
