E-Z LOK 329-5IC Threaded Insert for Metal - Screw Locking - Carbon Steel - 5/16-18 x 1/2-13 Pack of 10

E-Z LOK Threaded Insert for Metal - Screw Locking - Carbon Steel - 5/16-18 x 1/2-13

E-Z LOK (Solid Wall) Screw Locking Inserts are the standard heavy wall solid threaded inserts with thread locking adhesive on both the external and internal threads of the insert. The adhesive on the external threads secures the insert in place. The internal thread adhesive provides a screw locking feature that keeps fasteners from backing out.

Install these threaded inserts with a screwdriver or optional drive tool, allowing 3-5 minutes for the external thread adhesive to set up prior to threading in the fastener. A bolt can be used for installation as long as you do not intend to remove it. Removing the bolt after installation destroys adhesive effectiveness.

Features

• Preapplied adhesive on ID threads provides screw locking feature
• Self-Locking: preapplied adhesive activates upon installation
• Seals against Liquids/Gases: to pressures of 6,000 psi.
• 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

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.
