E-z Lok 450-10 Thread Locking Insert M10x1.5 M16x2

Product Description

The E-Z LOK 450-10 is a self-locking threaded insert designed to create a strong, reliable internal thread in materials that require reinforced fastening. Manufactured from C12L14 carbon steel with a smooth, rolled finish, this insert features an M10 x 1.5 internal thread and an M16 x 2 external thread conforming to the Metric Coarse thread standard. The overall length is 17 mm. The self-lock wall design resists loosening under vibration and load, making it a practical solution for high-stress mechanical assemblies. Tensile strength is rated at 16,487 pounds. This insert is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with metric fastener systems.

The 450-10 is suited for applications where a parent material needs a durable, locking internal thread. Typical use cases include repair of stripped threads in metal components, thread reinforcement in production assemblies, and situations where vibration resistance is required. The self-lock wall design engages the parent material bore while the internal 6H thread class accommodates standard M10 x 1.5 fasteners. The external 6G thread class ensures consistent fit during installation into a prepared M16 x 2 tapped hole using a standard tap.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 internal thread with 6H class of fit for use with standard metric fasteners
• M16 x 2 external thread with 6G class of fit for installation into a standard tapped bore
• Self-lock wall design resists loosening under vibration and dynamic load
• C12L14 carbon steel construction with smooth, rolled finish
• Tensile strength rated at 16,487 pounds
• Compatible with standard tap type for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an M16 x 2 externally threaded installation bore with an M10 x 1.5 internal locking thread output, following the Metric Coarse thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly prepared M16 x 2 tapped hole in the parent material using a standard tap. Power down and de-energize any associated equipment before performing thread repair or insert installation in a mechanical assembly. Use appropriate thread gauges to verify bore dimensions before driving the insert. Follow the fastener manufacturer's recommended installation procedure and consult applicable engineering or maintenance standards for torque and assembly requirements.
