E-z Lok 901032-20 Flanged Hex Drive Insert 10-32 25 Pack

Product Description

The E-Z LOK 901032-20 is a flanged hex drive threaded insert designed to install a durable 10-32 internal thread into soft or low-density base materials. The flanged collar seats flush against the surface to resist pull-through under load, while the hex drive socket accepts an M5 hex key for clean, controlled installation without slip. Each insert measures 0.7874 inches in overall length with a 0.451-inch insert diameter and requires a minimum grip depth of 0.75 inches. The zinc alloy construction offers solid corrosion resistance for light industrial, OEM assembly, and maintenance applications. This package contains 25 inserts.

Flanged hex drive inserts are commonly used where a threaded metal anchor is needed in plastic, wood, or soft composite assemblies. Typical applications include equipment enclosures, panel assemblies, jigs, and fixtures where repeated fastener engagement would strip a direct-tapped hole. The 10-32 thread size suits a wide range of machine screws used in electronic and light mechanical assemblies. A 9/32-inch drill bit produces the correct 0.2756-inch pilot hole diameter required for proper press or drive-in installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded insert for plastic, wood, and soft composite base materials requiring a 10-32 machine thread anchor with a flanged hex drive installation method.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or assembly professionals using an M5 hex key or hex driver bit. Drill the pilot hole to 9/32 inches (0.2756 inches diameter) before driving the insert to ensure proper wall engagement and prevent cracking in the base material. Verify the base material thickness meets the 0.75-inch minimum grip requirement before installation. Do not over-drive the insert past the flange seat, as this can damage the base material or distort the internal thread.
