E-Z LOK Threaded Insert for Metal - Standard Wall - 303 Stainless - M16-2.0 x 1-8

Strong threads made easy

All solid construction E-Z LOK threaded inserts install with standard tools. No special drills...no special taps...no special installation tools.

E-Z LOK external threads are standard size and pitch to permit the use of standard drills and taps. E-Z LOKs can be installed with a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut (except IC series), or optional power drive tool.

E-Z LOKs will not back out or vibrate loose. Immediately upon installation, microencapsulated adhesive begins to set and the newly installed inserts are fastener-ready in 3-5 minutes.

The adhesive seals against liquids and gases to 6,000 psi when fully cured (72 hours).

Features

• Easy to install: solid threaded inserts install with standard tools, simply drill, tap and thread like any ordinary fastener (no special taps or installation tools are necessary)
• Strength: carbon steel solid threaded inserts are screw machined out of solid steel for a stronger overall product
• Standard OD Threads: solid threaded inserts for metal permit the use of standard drills and taps
• Self-Locking: pre-applied adhesive activates upon installation
• Vibration Resistant: adhesive secures the carbon steel solid threaded insert into place so it wont back out
• Seals against Liquids/Gases: solid threaded inserts are pressurized up to 6,000 psi.

Applications:

• Soft metals: aluminum, cast iron, magnesium, etc.

Installation:

Unlike E-Z Coil inserts, which require a special tap and installation tool, E-Z LOK (Solid Wall) threaded inserts for metal are installed using standard tools, and installation is as easy as 1-2-3.

• Simply drill the appropriately sized hole with a standard drill
• Tap the hole with a standard tap
• Turn in the E-Z LOK (Solid Wall) insert like an ordinary fastener with a screwdriver, bolt and jam nut, or an E-Z LOK drive tool.

E-Z LOK (Solid Wall) threaded inserts are self-locking and open immediately upon installation. The pre-applied LOCTITE on the external threads sets immediately allowing for the newly installed insert to be fastener ready.

E-Z LOK solid wall threaded inserts are typically installed with the slots up. The slots accommodate a screwdriver or E-Z LOK drive tool. When using a bolt and jam nuts for installation, the slotted end of the insert can be either up or down.
