STAINLESS STEEL THREADED INSERTS
Our threaded inserts are crafted from stainless steel 1.4305 / AISI 303, which is exceptionally durable and can withstand numerous loosening and tightening cycles without thread stripping. Equally, our key-locking inserts can be used in light metal, steel, or cast iron applications, just another indication of their versatility.

In addition, they can also be used as an easy and efficient replacement for damaged threads and inexpensive components. Fundamentally, our threaded inserts are easy to install, highly durable, and can eliminate rotation and vibration even in heavy-duty applications.

EFFORTLESS INSTALLATION PROCESS
Threaded inserts are very easy to install and remove; the procedure is as follows:
- Drill out old threads with a standard drill. Note: Drill is oversized — see charts for proper dimensions.
- Tap new threads with a standard tap. See charts for proper size and depth.
- Screw in the insert until slightly below the surface.
- Drive keys down with several hammer taps on the proper installation tool.
