Built from steel for durability under repeated thermal and mechanical cycling, this Series U bushing features a 0.75 inch shank diameter, a 2-13\/32 inch shank length, and a 2 inch head diameter. The overall length is 3-9\/32 inches. It is installed by toolmakers, moldmakers, and mold maintenance technicians during mold builds or component replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sprue bushing is suited for use in plastic injection molds and die tooling where a standardized Series U geometry is required. The 7\/32 inch hole diameter, 3\/16 inch cavity depth, and 3\/4 inch corner radius define the flow and seating geometry. With a head height of 7\/8 inch, it fits conventional mold plate configurations common in production tooling. Sold individually, it is appropriate for both new mold builds and maintenance replacements in shop and manufacturing environments.\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 secure mold plate engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch head diameter and 7\/8 inch head height for proper seating against the mold face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/32 inch hole diameter channels material flow from nozzle to cavity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch cavity depth and 3\/4 inch corner radius conform to Series U geometry standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction resists wear and deformation under repeated injection cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-9\/32 inch overall length suits standard mold plate stack depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for plastic injection molds and die tooling requiring a Series U 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. The mold must be fully de-energized, cooled, and depressurized before disassembly or bushing replacement. Proper seating against the mold plate face should be verified before reassembly to prevent flash or material leakage at the sprue interface. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable tooling standards when handling steel mold components.\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 inches\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 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCavity Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\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: 1.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: BW8660-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51706458833202,"sku":"BW8660-G","price":200.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33da2b655fd1b0ec774db8f0b22e310e.jpg?v=1788434750","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-bw8660-g-die-mold-sprue-bushing-series-u","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
