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.

Helical Threaded Insert Removal Tools

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.

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.

Helical Insert Taps

Match the size of helical inserts so they fit tightly when installed in the hole.

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.

Seismic Stay-Put Swivel Leveling Mounts with Threaded Stud

With Cushion

Subjected to rigorous stress tests, these mounts withstand movement in every direction to minimize damage during an earthquake. After leveling your machine, bolt the mount to the floor and tighten the locking nut onto the base for added stability. The ball-and-socket joint in the base swivels to compensate for slightly sloped and pitted floors. For mounting versatility, you can install these mounts in either threaded holes or unthreaded through holes at the bottom of equipment.

304 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 protects floors from scrapes and gouges.

Black-Oxide Steel—Create a finished look with a dark, matte coating. These nuts offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

Fully Threaded—Fully threaded nuts allow a stud to extend beyond the bottom of the nut.

Helical Threaded Insert Installation and Prong Break-Off Tools

T-Handle

Install helical inserts and break off prongs with one tool and a hammer strike. These tools have a slot that grips your insert’s prong for turning both left- and right-hand threads. Slide an insert onto these tools and drive them a quarter-turn to half-turn below the material’s surface. Then, strike the end of the tool with a hammer to break off the prong. These tools work with pronged helical inserts.
