Stainless Steel Helical Inserts

Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, these inserts have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. All have a prong for ease of installation. An installation tool grips the prong and reduces the coil diameter, enabling the insert to fit in tapped holes. Remove the prong to insert the screw. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, an installation tool, and a prong break-off tool.
Inserts that meet DIN 8140 adhere to international standards for dimensions.

Lubricated Stainless Steel Helical Inserts for Dissimilar Metals

Eliminating the need for primer, these inserts are coated to resist corrosion when installed in different materials. They also prevent the screw from sticking or binding in the insert during installation. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. All have a prong for ease of installation. An installation tool grips the prong and reduces the coil diameter, enabling the insert to fit in tapped holes. Remove the prong to insert the screw. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, an installation tool, and a prong break-off tool.
Inserts that meet DIN 8140 adhere to international standards for dimensions.

Lubricated Stainless Steel Screw-Locking Helical Inserts

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation, yet a distorted thread grips the screw to resist loosening. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. All have a prong for ease of installation. An installation tool grips the prong and reduces the coil diameter, enabling the insert to fit in tapped holes. Remove the prong to insert the screw. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, an installation tool, and a prong break-off tool.
Inserts that meet DIN 8140 adhere to international standards for dimensions.

Screw-Locking Helical Inserts without Prong

A distorted thread grips the screw to resist loosening. Without a prong to break off and retrieve, these inserts are often used where debris could cause damage. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they have coils that expand once installed to securely anchor the insert. Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
Inserts that meet DIN 8140 adhere to international standards for dimensions.
Metric Steel Hex Weld Nuts


The three weld points on these metric hex nuts create a secure hold on a steel surface. Weld them to sheet metal or thick steel surfaces to add strong, permanent threads. They stand up to high torque and pull force better than rivet nuts. Made of uncoated steel, there’s minimal prep required to weld them to uncoated steel surfaces. All have a collar pilot that guides the nut into the hole, holds it in place while welding, and protects the threads from weld spatter.

Titanium Hex Weld Nuts

When you need a high strength-to-weight ratio and extreme corrosion resistance, choose these titanium weld nuts. They’re 40% lighter than steel and stand up to salt water, acids, and chemicals. Weld them onto titanium surfaces to add strong, permanent threads. Projections on the base concentrate your weld and create room for heat to dissipate, protecting the threads from deforming. The threads are also protected from weld spatter thanks to the collar pilot, which guides the nut into the hole and holds it in place.
Nuts that meet DIN 929 comply with dimensional standards for hex-shaped weld nuts.
Metric Stainless Steel Hex Weld Nuts


You can weld these nuts to flat and uneven uncoated stainless steel surfaces for a strong permanent hold. They have a collar pilot that assists alignment and prevents welding spatter from getting into threads.

Square Weld Nuts
Square weld nuts have more weld points than hex nuts for a stronger hold. Use them to add strong, permanent threads to uncoated steel surfaces. They stand up to more torque and pulling force than rivet nuts. These fasteners are uncoated, so they require minimal preparation before welding. All have a collar pilot that guides the nut into the hole, holds it in place while welding, and protects the threads from weld spatter.
