E-Z LOK Threaded Insert for Metal - Extra Heavy Wall - Carbon Steel - 1/4-20 x 1/2-13

E-Z LOK (Solid Wall) threaded inserts with Extra Heavy Wall are ideal for reducing the size of tapped holes, typically after previous drilling/re-tapping operations. Like all E-Z LOK (Solid Wall) threaded inserts, the Extra Heavy Wall design is installed using standard drills and taps. Installation is performed with a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut, or optional E-Z LOK drive tool.

Features

• Strong: screw machined out of solid steel for greater strength
• Easy to Install: simply drill, tap, and thread in like an ordinary fastener
• Standard OD Threads: permit the use of standard drills and taps
• Self-Locking: preapplied adhesive activates upon installation
• Vibration Resistant: adhesive secures the insert in place so it wont back out
• Seals against Liquids/Gases: to pressures of 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.

Important Note: Hole size requirements may vary depending on a number of factors, including material and tools. We recommend you test your particular application before ordering. Contact us for free samples.
