    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.
    Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
    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.
    Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
    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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    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.

    Screw-Locking Seize-Resistant Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Screw-Locking Seize-Resistant Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal.
    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 18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    These weld nuts prevent fasteners from backing out of assemblies that rotate counterclockwise. Their left-hand threads pair with left-hand screws and rods to stop the fastener from loosening as the assembly turns. Weld them to the end of a tube for a stronger connection than tapping the tube directly. Also known as tube adapters and weldable threaded tube ends.
