    Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts.
    With Loctite® adhesive already on the threads, these inserts won’t back out or vibrate loose. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. Unlike helical inserts, you can install them with a standard drill and tap. However, thread-locking inserts are difficult to remove and reuse.
    After drilling and tapping your hole, install inserts with a wrench or an installation bit. To use a wrench, thread an insert and two hex nuts onto a bolt. Then, grip and turn the top nut to drive into the hole. For slotted inserts, you can drive with a slotted screwdriver instead.
    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.

    To remove installed helical inserts, place the tip of these tools into the insert and lightly strike the tool’s head. Then, turn the tool counterclockwise with pressure to extract the insert.
    Narrow Profile—The tip of these tools has a narrower angle than standard removal tools to reduce the chance it will dig into your material’s surface when you strike the tool.

    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.

    Helical Threaded Inserts

    Pronged

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    High-Speed Steel—These taps resist heat and wear to stay sharp.
    Plug Chamfer—Our go-to chamfer type. With a longer taper than a bottoming chamfer, they are easier to turn but won't thread as close the bottom of a hole.
    Bottoming Chamfer—Cut all the way to the bottom of blind holes with taps that have the shortest taper. Since these require the most force to turn, they’re often used to finish holes started by taper- or plug-chamfer taps.

    Vibration-Damping Swivel Leveling Mounts with Threaded Hole

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Leveling Mounts. Vibration-Damping Swivel Leveling Mounts with Threaded Hole, With Cushion.

    With Cushion

    A rubber cushion reduces vibration to protect components and extend your machine’s life. These mounts have a ball-and-socket joint in the base that swivels to compensate for slightly sloped and pitted floors. Add your own stud to create a custom-length mount that you can install in either threaded holes or unthreaded through holes.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel Base—More corrosion resistant than nickel-plated steel, these mounts are suitable for damp environments. However, they won’t hold up to chemical cleaners, high-pressure washdowns, and other harsh conditions like stainless steel can.
    Plastic Cushion—The plastic bottom won't scratch or scuff floors when you’re moving equipment.
    Rubber Cushion—In addition to reducing vibration, the cushion grips surfaces so vibrating equipment doesn't slide. It also cuts down on noise and protects floors from scrapes and gouges.

    Wedge Anchors for Concrete

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Anchors. Wedge Anchors for Concrete.
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Wedge Anchors for Concrete.
    Secure junction boxes, safety railings, and structural beams in concrete floors. These anchors have a wedge-shaped base that expands against the hole’s sides, forming a tight grip that withstands high pull-out forces. Since the grip is focused at the base, these anchors are best suited for concrete, which can handle the gripping pressure better than softer block and brick. However, they require holes that match the anchors' diameter exactly to achieve their pull-out strength, making them more difficult to install than sleeve anchors.
    To install, drive the anchor through your component into a drilled hole until the washer and nut meet the surface. Then, tighten the nut to expand the anchor base. Remove your component by unfastening the nut, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Corrosion-Resistant Galvanized Steel—Combine the strength of steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel. These anchors are an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments, but they’ll corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.

    Keep equipment level on slightly sloped and pitted floors with mounts that have a ball-and-socket joint in the base. Add your own stud to create a custom-length mount that you can install in either threaded holes or unthreaded through holes.
    Nickel-Plated Steel Base—With a shiny appearance, these mounts create a finished look. They're best for dry environments since the nickel plating offers minimal corrosion resistance.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel Base—More corrosion resistant than nickel-plated steel, these mounts are suitable for damp environments. However, they won’t hold up to chemical cleaners, high-pressure washdowns, and other harsh conditions like stainless steel can.
    Black-Oxide Steel Base—With a matte black appearance, these mounts create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    303 Stainless Steel Base—The choice for most wet locations, these mounts can withstand repeated washdowns without corroding. However, they won't hold up to cleaning solutions that contain harsh chemicals like 316 stainless steel can.
    Delrin® Acetal Base—These mounts are economical yet resistant to grease, oil, and chemicals that pool on the floor. Often used on small, lightweight machines, they have about 25% the capacity of similarly sized metal mounts.
    Rubber Cushion—A cushion under the base grips surfaces so vibrating equipment doesn't slide. It also protects floors from scrapes and gouges.

    With Cushion

    Keep equipment level on slightly sloped and pitted floors with mounts that have a ball-and-socket joint in the base. For mounting versatility, you can install them in either threaded holes or unthreaded through holes at the bottom of equipment.
    Nickel-Plated Steel Base—With a shiny appearance, these mounts create a finished look. They're best for dry environments since the nickel plating offers minimal corrosion resistance.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel Base—More corrosion resistant than nickel-plated steel, these mounts are suitable for damp environments. However, they won’t hold up to chemical cleaners, high-pressure washdowns, and other harsh conditions like stainless steel can.
    Black-Oxide Steel Base—With a matte black appearance, these mounts create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    303 Stainless Steel Base—The choice for most wet locations, these mounts can withstand repeated washdowns without corroding. However, they won't hold up to cleaning solutions that contain harsh chemicals like 316 stainless steel can.
    Rubber Cushion—A cushion under the base grips surfaces so vibrating equipment doesn't slide. It also protects floors from scrapes and gouges.
