The insert features an M16 x 2.00 internal thread and a 1-8 external thread, allowing it to be driven into a pre-tapped hole to create a durable threaded connection. Constructed from 303 stainless steel with a bright finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance for demanding environments. The overall length is 25\/32 inches (0.781 inches decimal). This type of insert is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals in metal fabrication and repair applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for use in both metric coarse and metric fine thread standard applications where an M16 internal thread is required. The 1-8 external thread drives into a standard tapped host material using the appropriate installation tool. It is commonly used in industrial assembly, equipment repair, and structural fastening scenarios where thread integrity is critical and the base material needs reinforcement. The standard wall design is appropriate for most conventional host material thicknesses and standard tap sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM16 x 2.00 internal thread with 2B class of fit for reliable fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-8 external thread with 2A class of fit for secure installation into host material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e303 stainless steel construction with bright finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard wall design compatible with standard tap preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports both metric coarse and metric fine thread standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 25\/32 inches suits typical host material depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation thread locking insert for applications requiring an M16 x 2.00 internal thread and a 1-8 external thread in standard wall configuration, using a standard tap type for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using the appropriate E-Z LOK installation tool for this insert series. The host material must be tapped to the correct 1-8 thread specification before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing thread repair or insert installation on in-service machinery. Follow applicable torque and assembly guidelines from the equipment manufacturer for the fasteners used with the installed insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16 x 2.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse, Metric Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Thread Class of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Thread Class of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/32 inches (0.781 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread-Locking Insert Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Tap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0761 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: E-Z LOK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 653-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-Z LOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67913626091826,"sku":"653-16","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a08f14dfcbdd071ad53f08e7bf2fe303.jpg?v=1791246337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/e-z-lok-653-16-thread-locking-insert-m16x2-1-8-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
