Self-Tapping Metric Threaded Inserts – 316 Stainless – Thru-Tapped – For Marine Use

Product Description

These 316 stainless steel self-tapping threaded inserts are a useful way to achieve a strong, permanent metric thread in soft materials such as wood or fibre glass. They are ideal for many situations where only single-sided access is available to you. Manufactured in marine-grade stainless steel ensures they will remain corrosion resistant.

Installation can take place when a suitably sized hole is drilled into the wood or fibre-glass. The insert can then be screwed into the hole using its self-tapping thread.  It is recommended to first test the hole size required on an unimportant area or a scrap piece of material. The external thread will self-cut into a pre-prepared hole in a similar way a wood screw does providing a metric thread.

The head of the insert is shaped to sit fully flush once correctly inserted in order that it blends in with the existing area. Below the head is a recess to provide a space for epoxy or adhesive to squeeze into.
