E-z Lok 801032-13 Flush Hex Drive Insert 10-32 50-pack

Product Description

The E-Z LOK 801032-13 is a flush hex drive threaded insert designed to install a 10-32 internal thread into softer base materials. The insert seats flush with the surface when fully driven, making it well suited for applications where a protruding insert is not acceptable. It is driven using an M5 hex key. Manufactured from zinc alloy, it offers adequate corrosion resistance for light-duty indoor and industrial assembly applications. At 0.512 inches in overall length with a 0.43-inch insert diameter and a minimum grip of 0.5 inches, it fits a 9/32-inch drilled hole with a 0.2756-inch finished hole diameter. This insert is installed by maintenance technicians, production assemblers, and general contractors working with wood, plastics, or soft metals.

This insert is used in light assembly and production environments where threaded fastener retention is needed in a host material that cannot hold threads on its own. Typical applications include equipment panels, jigs, fixtures, furniture components, and enclosures where a clean, flush surface is required after installation. The 10-32 thread size is common in instrumentation, electronics enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. Each package contains 50 inserts, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by assembly technicians or maintenance personnel using a hand or power-driven M5 hex driver. Drill the host material to the specified 9/32-inch diameter before driving the insert to ensure proper retention and thread engagement. Ensure the host material thickness meets or exceeds the 0.5-inch minimum grip specification. Always confirm the host material is secure and stationary before driving the insert to avoid misalignment.
