    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 Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

    The strongest steel fittings we offer, these can withstand extreme-pressure applications.
    Note: The maximum pressure listed for Class 6000 fittings is for conditions where there are no sudden changes in pressure or velocity. Please refer to ASME B16.11 to determine the specific maximum operating pressure for your application.

    Place the tip of these tools into a key-locking insert after you've threaded it into a hole with your fingers. Then, strike these tools with a hammer to drive the keys into the material and secure the insert. They’re compatible with Keensert inserts.
    Choose the tool that matches your insert’s thread size and tap thread size.

    Paired with the right tool for installation, these inserts create strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. They have keys that drive into material to prevent inserts from slipping and rotating in the hole.
    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.

    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.
