E-z Lok 801024-13 Flush Hex Drive Insert 10-24 50 Pack

Product Description

The E-Z LOK 801024-13 is a flush hex drive threaded insert designed to install strong, reusable 10-24 threaded holes in soft materials such as wood, plastic, and composites. The insert is driven flush with the surface using an M5 hex key, seating securely without protruding above the workpiece face. At 0.512 inches in overall length with a 0.43-inch insert diameter and a minimum grip depth of 0.5 inches, this insert is suited for tight assemblies where a low-profile finish is required. Fabricated from zinc alloy, it delivers corrosion resistance and adequate hardness for light-duty fastening applications. Each package contains 50 inserts.

This insert is used in residential and light commercial assembly work, furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, and fixture fabrication wherever a clean, flush-mounted threaded anchor is needed. A 9/32-inch drill bit is required to prepare the installation hole, which should measure 0.2756 inches in diameter for a proper press or drive fit. The 10-24 thread accepts standard machine screws and fasteners, making this insert a practical solution for repeated disassembly and reassembly applications in soft substrates.

Compatibility

Designed as a flush hex drive threaded insert for use in wood, plastic, and other soft materials requiring a 9/32-inch pilot hole and a 10-24 threaded connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with a hand tool or low-torque driver using an M5 hex key. Drill the pilot hole to 0.2756 inches in diameter before driving the insert to ensure proper seating and thread integrity. Take care not to overdrive the insert past flush, as this can compromise holding strength in soft substrate materials. No power shutoff is required for fastener hardware installation, but follow applicable workshop safety practices when operating drilling equipment.
