This steel bushing features a 0.75-inch shank diameter and a 2-13\/32-inch shank length, with a 2-inch head diameter and an overall length of 3-9\/32 inches. The head height measures 7\/8 inch, with a 7\/32-inch hole diameter, 3\/16-inch cavity depth, and a 1\/2-inch corner radius. It belongs to the Series U product line. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and die maintenance technicians install this component during mold assembly or repair to provide a precision-seated sprue channel entry point for molten material flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BW8658-G is suited for use in injection molding dies and molds requiring a standardized Series U sprue bushing configuration. It is a common fit in production tooling environments across plastics processing and die casting shops. The steel construction makes it appropriate for moderate to high-cycle mold applications where dimensional stability and wear resistance are required at the sprue gate entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.75-inch shank diameter with 2-13\/32-inch shank length for standard Series U fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch head diameter and 7\/8-inch head height for secure seating in the mold plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/32-inch hole diameter provides the sprue channel bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch cavity depth and 1\/2-inch corner radius for precise mold interface geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in production mold environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 3-9\/32 inches for compatibility with standard mold plate thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for injection mold tooling requiring a Series U die mold sprue bushing with a 0.75-inch shank diameter and 2-inch head diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified toolmakers or moldmakers during mold build or maintenance with the mold fully depressurized, cooled, and locked out per shop safety procedures. Standard mold fitting and pressing tools are used to seat the bushing accurately in the mold plate bore. Verify hole diameter and shank fit tolerances before pressing to avoid galling or misalignment. Follow applicable shop standards and mold design specifications for sprue bushing installation and retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-13\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-9\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCavity Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Series U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.04 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: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BW8658-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717440831794,"sku":"BW8658-G","price":218.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c7eb1e9742b1e3eac1ffa4dd770a3e7_79dda962-b40c-4779-8d58-103196d6621c.jpg?v=1788540531","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-bw8658-g-die-mold-sprue-bushing-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
