It features a 3\/8-16 internal thread and a 9\/16-12 external thread in the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard, with an overall length of 0.515 inches. The bright finish carbon steel construction provides reliable holding strength in ferrous base materials. This insert is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician to bring a stripped or damaged threaded bore back to full load-bearing capacity without replacing the entire component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread repair insert is suited for maintenance and repair applications across industrial, commercial, and trade environments. It is used when a tapped hole has been stripped, cross-threaded, or otherwise damaged and the parent material needs to be salvaged. Typical applications include equipment housings, machinery frames, structural brackets, and any ferrous assembly where a 3\/8-16 threaded fastener must seat securely. The 9\/16-12 external thread cuts into the parent material to anchor the insert, while the 3\/8-16 internal thread accepts the original fastener size. Sold in a package of 10 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 internal thread accepts standard UNC fasteners after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16-12 external thread bites into parent material for a secure anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction provides strength suitable for ferrous base materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.515-inch overall length fits shallow bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish  -  no coating residue to interfere with thread fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread repair type restores stripped or damaged tapped holes to original fastener size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style thread repair solution for ferrous components with 3\/8-16 internal thread requirements using the UNC thread standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a machinist or experienced maintenance technician. The damaged bore must be drilled out and tapped to the 9\/16-12 external thread specification before the insert is driven or threaded into place. Power down and de-energize any equipment before beginning thread repair work on live assemblies. Follow the insert manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable shop safety procedures to ensure proper seating and thread engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thread Repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.515 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: BDC690608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-Z LOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909955584306,"sku":"BDC690608","price":20.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cc3a055e3eb11dc0d782685becfdcc25.jpg?v=1791194113","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/e-z-lok-bdc690608-thread-locking-insert-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
