Thinwall
Internal Thread Locking
Stainless Steel

FEATURES: Internal-thread-locking version of our thinwall inserts. Thinwall Key Inserts have a smaller OD thread size than standard heavy-duty inserts, ideal for tight spaces where less pull-out strength is acceptable. Key Inserts are ideal for thread reinforcement, especially when the mating stud or bolt will be removed frequently. These stainless inserts provide strong, permanent stainless steel threads in any parent material, ferrous, non-ferrous, or non-metallic. Key Inserts are also well suited for quick repair of stripped, damaged, or worn threads. Locking keys positively prevent the insert from rotating.
SIZES (STAINLESS): Available in a wide range of ID thread sizes — see Dimensions page for part numbers:| | 1/4-20 to 1/2-13 UNC Coarse | | | #10-32 UNF Fine |
INTERNAL THREAD LOCKING: This option uses a modified internal thread to prevent the installed bolt or stud from rotating. This feature is useful for one-time, permanent installations.
INSTALLATION: See Technical Information at the beginning of this section for complete installation steps. Key Inserts are installed with standard drills and taps. Important: Use exactly the tap-drill size specified in the tables (slightly larger than the standard tap drill for that thread size). Locking keys are driven down into the parent material during installation, providing a positive mechanical lock against rotation. See tables for optional installation tools.
MATERIAL (STAINLESS): Body > 303 stainless steel. Keys > 302 stainless steel. DFARS and RoHS compliant. |
